Whimsy & Wonder Christmas

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

Wow- it's been some time since I have posted on my Blog. Life has just been busy since Thanksgiving and now it's 2 weeks until Christmas.  I have been busy working on my Christmas cards, decorating and baking. I haven't started any of my Christmas chocolates as yet but that will happen soon.

I also haven't mailed any of my Christmas cards and that's a whole other process. It usually takes a couple of days to get them addressed, select which card goes where and then actually mailed. I don't make multiples of cards so all of mine are one of a kind.

Now onto my card for today. This one I created using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #903. I was the hostess, and I chose mint macaron, mossy meadow, misty moonlight and a favorite shade of pink for the color combo.

For my Christmas card, I did a split panel fun fold. Usually on this fold you stamp a sentiment on the open panel, but I liked it with a die cut after seeing this card from Judy May. I used dimensional adhesive to pop up the 2 angled panels. I also added a border of polished pink cardstock to each edge.

I used the "whimsy and wonder" designer paper from Stampin' Up- it contains all the colors I selected. My favorite shade of pink is polished pink. I love the bright and bold color.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is a die from CottageCutz. I cut it 3x to give it some dimension. As a background for the die cut, I used another pattern from the same designer paper collection. This one is in the mint macaron shade.

To finish off my card, I scattered a few polished pink enamel dots. That's it for me for this post. I will be back tomorrow with another Christmas card.
