Apologies to all those who don't want to see Christmas cards for some time, but the thing is the cuttlebug folders I ordered from America didn't arrive till Christmas Eve so ...
Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it - to be truthful I just love making Christmas cards and in the words of Slade 'I wish it could be Christmas every day! - errrrrrrrr that might be taking it too far but you know what I mean!
The challenge this week at http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ is go with WHITE, which is not as easy as it first sounds. There are some absolutely amazing cards on display by the design team so do go and take a look if you have time.
My card uses the 'snow dots' folder on vellum to make a frame for the Christmas sentiment. I must be honest here and say that I saw another blogger using this folder to create a distressed frame last week and I just though the frame was such a wonderful idea I had to give it a try. I have tried to refind the blog, but I can't so I can't give you the link to look at her card. So sorry!
I haven't used my Cuttlebug on vellum before, but wow I love the softness it gives and the way you can put stamped images underneath, etc. I shall be doing more in the near future.
Materials used:
- vellum
- white card and silver mirri card
- snow dots Cuttlebug folder
- silver sentiment peel off
- white brads
- white organza ribbon and gem from stash

I think it's a fabulous card Ann, and you don't need to apolise because it'a Christmas one, because it will certainly make life a bit easier towards the end of the year.

You have just got to stop cuttling so beautifully or I'm going to be forced into adding a cuttlebug to my birthday list ... and that would be just greedy LOL!

This is absolutely stunning Ann - I've used vellum in the cuttlebug before but not for a while - I think I'm going to have to remedy that!
