25Days of Christmas- Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas!-  This is our Christmas card this year.  I used the Frosted Christmas bundle to make it.

the Card lays flat for mailing. The base of the card is 4 pieces of Real Red card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2  with a circle diecut from the center on all 4 pieces- mots important to try to center the circle so it creates the center hole. Score the cards at 2 1/8 down the center. you tape the 4 together 1 side to the next as shown below but do not close it shut before you tape the fishing line. 

 I diecut 2 pieces of the ornament outline in gold and the decoration in white . put a piece of fishing line between the 2 gold pieces to sandwich it together and tape it securely between the red cardstock on top to hold it securely.

This is the first panel- the sentiment and the snowflakes from Snowflake Wishes set was embossed with white embossing powder.

This is the second panel

 This is the third panel - The peppermint candy was diecut in white and I used white pen to draw three circle then put the white panel down to make it look more like candy

The last panel.  I still use Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio to manipulate the photos- I have it on one of my old laptops and I keep it around just for that program- I still think it is the easiest photo editing program ever and I really love it. It no longer has any support but I can do so much stuff with it on a page for scrapbooking and cardmaking. Oh well.  I did handcut all the pictures to fit the ornament with a trim of gold peeking around the photo.
