Wishing you Holiday Cheer……

Christmas, High Hopes Stamps, Summer 2020 Release, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

It is never too early to start making Christmas cards.  When I saw this Cardinal in High Hopes Stamps Summer2020 release, I knew I would be creating a Christmas card with it.  I have always associated cardinals with Christmas.  What the association with Christmas is, I’m not sure.

After the image with Copic Markers, I cut it out with a Double In and Out Stitched Square Die.  I added a gold border using some Peel Off Stickers.  Some Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops and Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter Accents to finish the card off.

Hi Everyone;

It seems like it has been forever since this pandemic began and everyone has be at home and confined to home, except for groceries and necessary appointments.
