Ahhhh Monday! Normally not my favourite day of the week, but I've had my coffee and accomplished a fair bit already this morning (note to those that participated in my recent giveaway to check your e-mail - I sent e-mails to all the winners first thing this morning!), and finished editing the pics of these cards and getting the supplies all linked up.
After I got all the monkeys in bed last night I had some time to create, and since I had a lot of the supplies sitting on my desk already I used the same patterned paper pack that's made an appearance on a couple other cards recently:
For being a "Christmas" themed paper pack I find this one has a bunch of patterns that can be used all year long - case in point this card.
Oh hello gold sparkly die cut word. I could add you to every card in the history of ever..... *wink* (I really need to find a way to insert the heart eyes emoticon into my blog posts - but maybe it's a good thing I haven't - otherwise y'all would be inundated with a ton of emoticons all the time LOL!).
I had some troubles with the triangle enamel dots - they just weren't behaving and I swear my ability to eyeball things straight was sorely tested with them last night. I ended up changing the placement on them before photographing the card, and adding some pool coloured enamel dots to balance them out.
I finished off the inside with more die cut hexagons (they're sooooo versatile - and with patterned paper they're just FUN) and a stamped sentiment.
My second card uses the same patterned paper back, but with different patterns - and a totally different look.
I LOVE the polar bear paper - I've been wanting to use it on a card ever since I got the pack - and of course it made me think of a more "winter" theme for this card.
I added some die cut snowflakes (the Let It Snowflake Die-namics is such an old set (still available!) and still one of my favourites after how many years...) and a die cut sentiment - this time in black. It was a struggle not to do it with gold glitter card stock like the first card.
I finished off the inside with a strip of the same polar bear patterned paper and stamped another sentiment from the same Amazing stamp set and that was it!
