Hey there, folks! So, I recently decided to dive into my craft stash for a thorough sort-out, and what an adventure it turned out to be! I unearthed some acetate sheets that took me on a trip down memory lane, back to the days of transparencies and those ancient overhead projectors. Remember those? They were like the PowerPoint of the Stone Age!
Now, onto the card itself! This wee card features a whimsical tree die cut from the Silhouette Design Store. Sure, it's March, but who says Christmas trees can't make an appearance? I cut it from textured cardstock and bedazzled it with flatback gems that twinkle almost as bright as my neighbour's garden lights in July. The tree is perched on clear acetate that’s been embossed for a wee bit of pizzazz, and I went all-out, embossing the top and bottom of the card too.
The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's "Scribbled Sentiments: Winter" and stamped with StazOn ink for a finish so crisp it could practically cut glass. And, because I live by the motto "more glitter, more better," I spruced up the heart with extra fine red glitter. If I’m not finding glitter in random places for the next month, did I even craft?
Now, this card is ready to strut its stuff in a few crafting challenges, spreading joy like confetti at a parade:
