I hope that you had an amazing Christmas with your families and friends and that Santa has blessed you with amazing presents this year. Today is my rest day!!! So I wanted to take this time and show off a card I made for our friend, who is my biggest fan!! So I had to make something extra special for her.
THIS CARD WAS PUBLISHED IN THE CRICUT HOLIDAY IDEA BOOK!!! :)
It's also my first step ladder, step stair card!!! There are so many names for this type of card, that I don't even know what the actual name is!! LOL!!! Anyways....isn't awesome.
But that's not all.....the tree actually lights up....YES!!!! IT LIGHTS UP.........
Check it out, I made a little video:
I used so much liquid applique and diamond dust on this card!!! love those two items....A LOT!!!
The house and lamp post are from the Jolly Holly Cricut Cartridge. The tree is covered in Claudine Hellmuth, Sticky-back canvas and distress ink. Here's a fantastic video by Jennifer McGuire, HERE.
Now, the lights are actually a necklace that my Patrick found at Aaron Brothers. It's called "lotsa lites"
Flashing Holiday Necklace and Hero Arts-Winter Message (CL240) for the Merry Christmas sentiment.
S.E.I.- Snow Angels Paper and white pen.
I hope you enjoyed the card, because I really enjoyed making it for her.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
The Pink Elephant: Challenge #90: Winter Wonderland
Critter Sketch Challenge#45: Anything Christmas
Thank you for taking the time and I will see you in a few days.
Hugs,
Calypso
