Oh my gosh, it's been a long time since I last posted. Whew, what a month it's been. Life just takes over sometimes, right? So anyway, I'm back with a post this week for the PPA16, Christmas Cheer, challenge over at Pals Paper Arts. My card is one we made last month in my stamp club featuring two favorites this holiday season--Dasher & the Holiday Lounge designer paper. The star here is the every-handsome Dasher himself and the non-traditional color combination. I am really loving the teal & red combo lately. The retro feel of these colors coordinates well with the Holiday Lounge paper, dontcha think? Dasher is embossed in silver on a 3" circle of Whisper White. The mat was made from Sahara Sand cardstock by dialing up on the Circle Scissor Plus to create the perfect 3.25" circle mat. Love it! The rest of the card is pretty simple but I want to give a shout out to this video for the stay-put-bow. I love this technique--especially for tricky-to-tie material such as the silver elastic cord used here. Thanks for looking!supplies:
