Have A Frosty Holiday

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this first Sunday in December. It's Day 4 of my Christmas Cards for 2025. 

I finished all of my Christmas decorating yesterday and now I am in Christmas card mode. I need at least 35-40 cards. Yes, I still send out that many Christmas cards. But this year I am going to make more of a CAS design. I have card fronts that I can use that will make the creating much easier. 

Then I will need to get them addressed and in the mail. I was thinking of printing labels out this year. That way I will have them for future years. My hubby can stick the address & return labels plus the stamps. I can type up the labels at night while we are watching television. Just looking for ways to simplify the addressing envelopes process. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I created using the colors from a Splitcoaststampers color challenge. We were to use real red, lost lagoon and pretty peacock for the color trio. 
real red, lost lagoon, pretty peacock

My card started with the designer paper. I had this pack from Stampin' Up - the "Snowflake Magic" collection and it has the lost lagoon color. I loved the metallic glow. This package is one of those new never been used items. So, I decided to cut into it and go with Christmas.

I cut my snowman trio and used the challenge colors for their scarves and hat. The stick arms are pecan pie (a neutral) and I had to use pumpkin for their noses. After all what snowman doesn't have a carrot for his nose???

I cut a snowbank in white glitter paper. The greeting is from the Waffle Flower "snow cheer sentiments" collection and it's stamped in pretty peacock and cut with the coordinating die.


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