Since it's been a while since I last blogged, when Carolyn suggested we had a team Christmas blog hop I thought this was a great way to get back in the swing of things. You should have arrived at me from Sharon's blog, if not why not start at the beginning here at Dawns.

The Dasher card was inspired from the card that I did for my general swaps at convention.

This was my convention swap card



I have used Welcome Christmas stamp set and Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant and Bashful Blue ink. I have mat and layered onto Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy card stock.

Dasher


On this card I have used Dasher, Serene Snowflakes and Curly Cute stamps, Night of Navy and Bashful Blue ink and card stock and the Scallop Trim Corner punch along with the Wide Oval and Scallop Oval.

I wanted to make something different from a card so my next project is a snow globe that I picked up from Home Bargains, they are for you to put in your own pictures.



For this I stamped and embossed Serene Snowflakes with White Embossing Powder on Basic Black card stock and then sprayed with Frost White Shimmer Paint, I then Stamped and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder one of the larger snowflakes and mounted that onto a piece of Whisper White card stock, I then went around the edges with Basic Black ink with a sponge dauber and then over the top with the Frost White Shimmer paint.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my creations, I will now pass you on to Kara. Enjoy the rest of the hop.
