A Beautiful Frosty Non-Traditional Colored Card!

My daughter-in-law loves purple.  Deciding which Christmas card to give her and my son was not a difficult choice that's for sure.  I made some Christmas card at a September 2019 card class, and this design by Luci Kirschbaum was one of the cards we could make.  The Feels Like Frost dsp patterns are so pretty and just stand alone without almost any embellishments or add-ons needed.

I loved Luci's design so much I decided to keep it pretty much as she presented, but I did add a Purple Posy mat layer and increased the size of the white card base to accommodate that addition.  This card was made by stamping the white card front with the snowflake grouping in the Frosted Foliage stamp set with the Purple Posy ink.  A 1-3/4" vertical panel of the Feels Like Frost dsp was adhered about 3/8" from the left side.  The sentiment was stamped with Basic Gray ink and die-cut with the ticket stub corner stitched die.  Snowflakes were added to the corners with Purple Posy ink.  The Purple Posy mat layer was added and Purple Posy die-cut snowflakes using the Snowfall Thinlit dies from the November 2019 Showcase Snowflake Promotional stamp and die sets.

Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours!

I needed several more cards for Christmas this past year, so I went hunting through my "TO DO" of partially finished cards in my stash to see if there were any easy to finished or that I could replicated fairly easily and quickly.  I found one I loved and away the finishing, paper measuring and cutting began.

This one is a beautiful Christmas card design by Daralee Peterson from a card class that I attended back in 2018, prior to hand surgeries, when my crafting time was very limited.  I LOVED the browns, greens, and copper tones together on her lovely card, so I kept my card very similar, but added a few more colors and layers just because I love layers and it also increases the size of the card, both of which just suits my style more.  I designed a simple inside to coordinate with the outside with my own Chatterbox verse and a scattering of copper punched snowflakes.  Take a peek at the finished card below:
