Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. Hope your weekend went well.
We had our family over yesterday for dinner to celebrate my daughter-in-law's birthday. Everyone raved about the food so that made me happy. I made chicken parmesan, zucchini stuffed with a sweet and hot sausage and spaghetti with a red sauce.
The sauce was made from my garden tomatoes which I roasted. It really brings out the flavor of the tomatoes that way.
We had a German chocolate cake for dessert, and someone also brought some macarons from a local French bakery. Both desserts were fabulous. It was an enjoyable evening as family time should be.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created for my weekly DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. I am using the new Christmas Owls die. I have a friend who loves owls so this one will go to her for Christmas. So, let's get started on some details of how I created this card.
Design Steps:
Since I knew the die I was going to use, I looked for a Christmas themed designer paper in my collection. I have these new Christmas papers from Stampin' Up. It's their "lights aglow specialty paper". I liked the snowflakes and gold accents and thought it would work perfectly for my card. Green Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Designer Paper Layer: 5 1/4" x 5 3/8"
White Image Panel: 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle (2 7/8" x 3 7/8") die
For added interest on the image panel I used a Cuttlebug "swirling snow" embossing folder. The sentiment is stamped in red ink. It's from Darcie's Stamps.
Now that my card elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the designer paper and the image to the card base with double sided tape. Next, I attached the owl images with clear drying glue.
To finish off my card, I added the Merry Christmas phrase. And I have a Christmas card finished with one of the new dies of the season. So until next time.......God bless.
