Merry Christmas card - Christmas Card a Day!

Here's another card that uses the White Daisy Die Cut cards that I love so much. It would also be handy for you to have the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge (unless you want to try and cut these fancy snowflakes yourself)!! The "ruffled" strip at the top cuts just right if you use .90 tenths of an inch on your machine. The paper is Wonderland and you can cut it 5 1/2" by 1" for the spring iris cardstock, 6 1/2" by 3/4" for the brown polka dot pattern paper and 5 1/2" by 1/2" for the crystal blue cardstock. The striped piece inside the card (flush with the bottom) is cut 5 1/2" by 1 1/4". Glue these on your card as shown starting at the top and working down the card. You may distress first with chocolate ink if you like.

Cut a ruffled circle on your cricut 2 1/2" in diameter out of white cardstock. Attach to left center.

Cut a variety of snowflakes to layer of the variety of snowflakes on the cartridge. This one, out of spring iris, was cut 2 inches in diameter.

The crystal blue snowflake was cut 1 3/4" and the smallest spring iris snowflake was cut 1 1/2". Stamp Merry Christmas from the Say It In Style stamp set (the handiest stamp set I've ever owned). Use chocolate ink.

Now it's time to have fun and add a lots of sparkles. Our sparkles are self adhesive and I find the easiest way to life them is with a sharp piercing tool. I just dig into the glue under the adhesive, lift and place. A little bling brightens up any card or layout. So there you have it, card two, stay tuned for 18 more!
