Time is running out to get my Christmas cards finished, so I've spent a good portion of the day doing just that.
I have a fun one to share with you today. I found a Sizzix die-cut set the other day for 40% off and couldn't wait to play with it! It comes with a Christmas light, an ornament and a stocking. Here's my card using the light die.
I cut out four of them, colored them with Copics, added Glossy Accents and Frosted Lace Stickles, then used a string and dimensional adhesive to adhere them to the card base. The background is white embossed with Hero Arts' Tiny Flakes.
I had the day off today from work, and I am actually at the start of an eight day vacation. It'll be spent getting the tree up and decorations out and basically catching up with life before a busy holiday season gears up in the floral department.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! :)

I'm so glad you explained how you made these bulbs, because I thought you put real ones on your card! My grandpa always decorated his outside tree with these big bulbs and I find them so beautiful.
Barb, your card instantly brought back such fond memories of my childhood...we used to put lights like those up on our tree (REALLY big and richly colored...not like the tiny ones they make today). I smiled as soon as I saw your card...they look so REAL! What a fin card. Enjoy your days off decorating before the busy work season kicks in!
