Magic of Christmas

This is my blog post at Classy Cards 'n Such today!!

Hello Classy Friends,

Diane here with you today!

I live in a log home and each year it is decorated in red and white for Christmas.

Somehow that color just seems to belong in a log type home.

But there still is a girlie part of me that loves the vintage

look of Christmas in the blue and pink colors!

I started out with a Darice snowflakes embossing folder

and topped it with a doily die cut.

I used the Memory Box Starry Wreath cut from the

beautiful new Wild Rose Studio Frosted Lace papers.

The entire paper pack is full of dreamy pink and blue papers in gorgeous designs!

I cut a holly flourish and added Pink Pearls for berries.

The holly was cut from Stardream Rose Quartz Metallic paper.

For the center of my wreath, I cut 2 Memory Box Leaping Deer.

One was cut from the Stardream Rose Quartz Metallic paper

and a second from Luminized Curious Silver Metallic

I offset the silver deer on the pink one to create a shadow effect.

I finished the inside of my card with 2 more of the deer,

a scrap of paper left from the wreath and the beautiful sentiment

from JustRite Christmas Inner Thoughts stamps.

The finishing touches were a bow and a jingle bell.

I wanted to mention the Metallic papers I have used.  

These papers are a wonderful 105# weight (normal card stock is about 80# weight) 

and when using with your die cuts, they add a beautiful shimmer and elegance

to your projects.  I have been using them for quite some time now and

love every single beautiful color they come in...give them a try with your next order!!
