Day 4 – Holiday Card Series 2011

Morning, all!

For Day 4 I decided to create a tall skinny card (3.5″ x 9″). When I saw the tall skinny tree on the 12 Days of Christmas Chipboard Elements from My Mind’s Eye, I thought it would be perfect for a tall card. I also used the Folk Holiday stamp set from Inkadinkado, which has about a million sentiments on it! Okay, I exaggerate, but there are a lot of stamps in one pack. Lots of options. I love that. :)

I stamped the background on the green cardstock with Hero Arts Tiny Flakes Cling background, and embossing it with clear embossing powder. Gave it just a bit of shine.

Anyhow, enjoy!

   Love the blue dot patterned paper at the bottom, really gives the card a zing, and brightens it up.. Great card Kristina!

   Oh, I like this one! The embossed snowflakes are really cute!! I think I might do something like that, glueing the embossed paper onto the card so it doesn’t warp as much =)

    This might be one of my favorite cards that you/ve ever made! I was so afraid you weren’t going to do the card series this year and I’m so happy that you are. Thank you so much!

    I love the fact that you share your oops moments! I feel better knowing someone else starts with a plan and realizes it won’t work. Thank you for the ideas.
