2020 Christmas Countdown | Day 43 (Gift of Love)

Good morning!

Today’s card will no doubt give you a sense of déjà vu!

The flip side of making cards with certain dies and supplies is that you can use the left-overs to create an almost identical card. Which is what I’ve done for today’s card:

Card | Handmade by Natty | Crate Paper Merry Days

Paper: Pebbles – Merry Little Christmas (r)
Ephemera: Crate Paper – Merry Days (r)
Die: Pinkfresh Studio – Pop Out Sunburst

Card | Handmade by Natty | Crate Paper Merry Days

I used the alternating die cuts from my Day 42 card using the Pop Out Sunburst die to create the background. But instead of the frame being raised and the rays inset, I popped up the glitter rays on 3D foam tape.

I needed something circular for the focal element and found this lovely wreath in the Merry Days ephemera pack from Crate Paper. It was the perfect size to be a backdrop for the lady walking past with the gift.

The ephemera pieces felt a little flat against all that white glitter cardstock, so I zhuzh-ed them up with a touch of Wink of Stella pen on the bows and also the lady’s coat and boots, plus glitter Nuvo drops on the berry accents of the wreath.

Happy crafting, until next time!
