Hi, crafty friends. Guess what? Christmas is in five months. At least it is if you celebrate on the 24th. I love creating Christmas cards, and since it’s Wednesday, also known as Mo day, I couldn’t resist creating a holiday card with this Feed the birds image from Mo. I flipped it, so the girl faces right instead of left.

I printed the image on a piece of X-Press It blending card, colored it with my Copics and used a die in the Additional A2 Layers die set from Waffle Flower to trim the rectangle down a bit. You could also use a trimmer for this. Into the panel, I die cut the words god jul using dies from Kort & Godt. The two words are actually from separate die sets, but work perfectly together like this.

I adhered my panel to a top fold card base I created from Autumn Rose cardstock from Papertrey Ink, paper pieced the counters back into place, sprinkled on Chunky White embossing enamel from Stampendous and heated the granules from the back. I should have done this before adhering my panel to the card base to spend less time with the heat gun (melting the powder through two layers of cardstock takes significantly longer than doing it through just the one layer), but I honestly forgot about it. It does work through two layers, it’s just a matter of patience.

Once my snow was in place, I die cut four layers of each of the words from black cardstock. I stacked them, added the colored one on top and puzzle pieced them in where they belonged, before adding a few Snowdrift sprinkles from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards to finish the card.

Pink and dirty green. This is about as close as I (willingly) get to using red and green together on a card.
