Christmas Card 10

My friend Gayvien made a card for our Card Club class in December and I fell in love with her idea. I didn't have the stamps that she used to reproduce her card, but I did have a large background stamp of snowflakes that I had picked up this summer on sale, so I decided to use it.

My Recipe:
A2 card
Cream card stock @ 2.75" x 5.25" stamped with snowflake stamp
Cream card stock @ 1/2" x 5.25" embossed with Snowflakes cuttlebug folder
Place jewels in center of snowflakes
Banner @ 1" cut from Artiste (CTMH) cricut cartridge

I found this card in the Cricut Cards magazine (on page 26 & 27). I did make a few changes. Charity Hassell embossed the entire piece of white card stock and I ended up only embossing half of it. My recipe follows:

Recipe:
A2 Card
White card stock @ 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". Emboss half using Holly Stripes Cuttlebug folder.
Holly Leaves @ 2.5" & 2.25" using the Art Philosophy (CTMH) cartridge.
