Believe in the Magic

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this last Saturday in September.

 

It's been a whirlwind September for me. Preschool started and I was busy getting my lesson plans and bulletin boards ready. Then I had a short trip to San Francisco to take care of my precious granddaughter.

 

My son asked me last May to come out because they had a short trip planned to New Orleans. It really wasn't a good time for either of us but the time spent with my granddaughter was priceless. Now this weekend I am over my other son's home taking care of their dog while they visit my grandson at college.

 

Now that you know why I haven't posted for awhile, let's get started on my card for today. This one I created for my weekly DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. I am using a new Christmas die "Believe in the Magic".

 

I wanted to make a CAS card that would be easy to make multiples of for Christmas. I used this new "let it snow" designer paper from Stampin'-Up. I paired it up with coordinating coastal cabana and white cardstocks.

 

I made it slightly larger than my normal A2 cards.

coastal cabana card base: 5 3/4" x 4 1/2"

white layering panel: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

designer paper panel: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

I used real red and shaded spruce cardstocks for my die cuts.

Attached the die cut images with Ranger multi medium matte. This one dries clear which is why I like to use it. I wanted to create a partial reindeer shadow in the moon so I cut just one reindeer in black cardstock and did a slight offset.  The moon is cut from the CottageCutz circle set. It's a 2" circle.

To finish off my card I attached the image panel to the card base and scattered a few sequins for interest.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time...….God bless.
