“Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls”
Okay … I couldn’t resist these snowballs … just couldn’t resist. I can’t look at them without smiling. I’ve had this card in my mind for a few days … but just had to tweak & tweak until it’s what I was really after. Glitz? Ohhh, there’s more glitz than my photos reveal. Cloudy day … 25 shots … this is the best for now.
The layout is actually a template from Scor-Pal … although this card can easily be created without the Scor-Pal. You’ll be surpised at how easy & fun this layout is. I believe the first time I saw this style was a card created by my friend Val Stangle. It’s a unique layered fold with lots of varable combinations in the sizes. Due to the length of the stamp .. I needed as much space on top as possible, but for shorter images, that’s easy to change.
Although my generosity with glitz just didn’t show up in the photos .. I took a close up of the punched snowflake cluster at the top left. The card closure is shorly below that cluster on the back of the image page, using a Basic Grey magnet. I love those things for quick, secure … easily hidden closures! I order mine from eclectic Paperie, as well as my Copic markers. The machine stitches were smudged with 2-way glue and sprinkled with dazzling diamonds gltter …. it’s a lovely effect IRL.
.
Inside, the sentiment says “Some of my Best friends are flakes!”, and is appropriately surrounded with glittery snowflakes with one puched trough to the background & glittered. All stamps are by Whipper Snapper. Give these fun cards a try! Post a link to yours, and I’d love take a look! Jingle-Balls to you all!
