Christmas is coming....soon....

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!! Time is flying by and fall is officially here in VA. This a.m. the temperature was in the high 30's. Brrr! It is hard to believe it is almost the end of October. Christmas will be here before you know it.

Today I would like to share one of my Christmas creations using the Merry Caps Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. I just love the font of it.

The poinsettias are created with the Merry Mosaics and the Peaceful Poinsettia dies. The pine was created with the Pine Branches dies. The paper used is the Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Collection. The card itself and the dies are framed using the Pierced Rectangles.

The Merry Christmas Caps are cut from both silver cardstock or white cardstock. The poinsettias are layered using the Christmas Coordinating 2015 paper collection and the Peaceful Poinsettia dies and Merry Mosaic dies.

I hope you are in some way inspired by my creation.

Have a blessed day! Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!!
