Merry Christmas!! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season! Thank you for visiting my blog during 2016 and for all the kind comments you left! It's very much appreciated! Today, I would like to share a shimmery card I made today. I love anything with bling! I first cut the ornament from Artiste Cricut Collection and then added shimmer trim and washi tape randomly across the ornament. Cut the excess off and you have a pretty ornament! I love the gold with these same colors! Very elegant! I hope you enjoy this fun technique and have fun creating your own!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am excited to share this pretty Christmas card with you today! I used up some of those extra pocket cards and zip strips! You gotta love that!

Then I took another piece of the same size white cardstock and cut and glued (4) 2 1/4" trees zip strips to the center of the solid white cardstock. Then glued the snowflake piece on top of the solid piece with the zip strips so that the pattern shows through the snowflake. The snowflake pocket card was cut down to 4" x 5 1/4". I also used the 3" x 4" red striped pocket card and glued this on top of the green 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"  B&T piece. This piece is glued on top of the snowflake pocket card. Glue this on top of a piece of black cardstock and a white base card. This c...
