Festive Fridays | ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

Morning all!

Welcome back to another Festive Friday on possibly the warmest day of the year so far… this is going to be a very interesting series come the summer!

This week I’ve done a little festive spin on The Have a Spine die from The Greetery:

Christmas card inspiration featuring The Greetery Have a Spine Bookish Holiday Frames

Basically, I needed an excuse to try out the festive wording in the Bookish Frames stamp set and I found a fun way to do this with the Countryside Circle die from Memory Box.

By creating a slightly smaller circle aperture in the book cover, I could add a little wintry sky blending behind the trees and house, plus still have room to stamp the “sentiment”.

It was also a perfect opportunity to use some of my digital papers that I’d printed out at Christmas.

The book is simply mounted on a trimmed down A2 card base so it doesn’t show around the edges.

I’m already looking forward to making some more festive book cards with other papers I printed.

Until next time, happy crafting!
