Get Cracking on Christmas – Colorado Craft Company

Let’s Get Cracking on Christmas! Thanks to Jenn Shurkus for this fun blog hop that helps get us Cracking on getting our cards and projects ready for Christmas all year long. Play along and be sure to use the hash tag #Getcrackingonchristmas when posting to Instagram. Jenn does a LIVE each month to showcase how she made her card and that will be on Facebook at 8pm EST.

This month I chose this beautiful image from Colorado Craft Company from their Big and Bold collection called Nordic Ornament. Its such a warm, cozy image that takes me back to my Scandinavian heritage.

This set includes the main focal image, (7) sentiments, and (2) ornament topper images. In my card I chose to use the ornament image as the background after white embossing on white card stock and then ink blending. Super fast technique for a clean and simple card.

To add a bit of sparkle I used my Quickie Glue Pen and my T square ruler to add lines of glue that I sprinkled glitter on. I skipped over the embossed areas, making lines of glue between them.

For a finishing touch I white embossed a portion of the main image on Peacock blue paper which I then fussy cut and placed as an accent on my sentiment. This card finished up at 5.5″ square. And, because I had to keep messing with it, I added some cute little snowflake sequins from Little Things by Lucy.
