Hi! Did you know that it is 62 days until Christmas????
So, I pulled out the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle(168147), an Online Exclusive, and the Party Alphabet Dies(165263) and made this Christmas card.
Christmas is a time of joy so I choose the letters, die-cut them in basic white, and added a bit of Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush. They needed a bit of texture, so I slipped them into the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder(168466) as well. These alphabet dies are quite large, so I cut this card base to measure 6-1/2″ tall x 8-1/2″ wide and scored at 4-1/4″.
This card was created to play along with the new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week.
Here is the list of products used.

Some lucky person is going to be so happy to receive your clever card full of JOY, Cynthia! You’ve managed to give us all a lesson in how to take a clever look at our sketches – in fact, you spelled it out for us!!
