Skating Snowie
Good day dear reader, today I'm sharing an unusual card with you!
I rarely ever use ready made toppers on my cards these days, but I recently bought a christmas goody bag from my local Art Shop and in it was a sheet of rather nice decoupaged toppers. All the items in the goody bag are by American Traditonal Designs and are from their Snow Day range.
I had a few bits and pieces left from the white on white card I made recently and used one of the pieces of card which I'd embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used this over a piece of the doubled-sided paper from the pack, turning the top right corner down and attaching a snowflake brad to hold it down and another on the base card.
I added glitter to the skating snowie topper and a small snowflake topper from the set, to bling them up a bit. More glitter round the edges of the sentiment and a quick and easy card was finished.
I made one other card with the remaining bits and pieces and I'll be sharing that with you in the next couple of days.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a lovely comment, I really appreciate it. It's nice to hear what you think about my crafty bits and pieces and I'm always amazed by how many lovely crafters drop by my blog each day to check out my projects. Thank you all so much.

May I say how nice your card is and how your ready made topper has benefited from being blinged up a bit further too.

ReplyDeleteI don't use toppers either, but you've made such a stunning card I may have to dig out my old toppers!

I know what you mean, I rarely use them myself these days however if something cute catches my eye, I'd deffinately give it a go. Your card really is cute, I'm glad you did use it.
