Winter - Christmas - Valentines or Just Because


Welcome Bloggers -

I have been having so much fun with my Pop Up Scallop die from Sizzix designed by Karen Burniston. I have had this die for many months and one of my crafting goals for 2014 is to start being intentional by using my dies, stickers, stamps, cardstocks, and the like in my creations. Sometimes, I forget what wonderful items I have been blessed with to use in crafting .... so if you have been stopping by you have already seen several Pop Up cards using this great die.

My card creation today can fit several themes - winter, Christmas, Valentines Day, or Just Because. I really like the versatility of this type of card. I am not sure if some challenges will accept a versatility card - and that is OK if it does not qualify - I enjoyed making it and I will abide by the decision of the blog challenge.

My camera is showing my cardstock(s) a bit darker then what my colors really are - so please take that into account when viewing my card. It really is on the softer pastel side of the color wheel.

Thank you for stopping by - it is always a blessing to have you visit.
