Chrissy Cards # 4

Now, for those who use SU regularly out there, please do not despise me for the next statement.....but I have NEVER used Kraft (or Crumb Cake as it is now called) EVER!!! I have seen so many pretty and divine things done with it, but never been inspired to do anything with it.

Continuing my run of non traditional Chrissy Cards, I decided to drag out the Kraft and see what I could come up with. I wanted to keep it relatively clean and simple...to avoid stuffing up!!! this is what I came up with......3 designs, based on the fun Festive Favourites. I purchased this set 2nd hand and the main large stamp and been separated into 3 smaller ones, so I just had to peel and stamp the trees, reindeer an snowmen as I needed. to bling them up just a bit, i added some sparkle with brads and rhinestones, but not symmetrically....just to keep things interesting.

I love the reindeer especially and have made more of this layout and also done it in landscape too. have blinged the 3rd and 4th reindeer's nose on these ones. 

I am especially wrapped with how the snowmen turned out. I was going to Kindyglitz the "snow", but love the clear rhinestones much better....gives it a more 3D feel.

The effect on the background of the card was done by randomly stamping the small motif stamp from this set in Versamark. it worked so very well....at least I think so. 

So I have gotten over my first Kraft (Crumb Cake) hurdle...and believe me when I say I now have more to share with you in the weeks to come.

Thanks so much for dropping in.
