Christmas Greenery

In the history of Less is More this has to be the second time I have put a card in the gallery so early on a Saturday morning!! It just so happens that the card I made for my blog post at Make the Day Special fits the RED & GREEN colour theme this week..... yay :0)


I've put this photo first because it shows the glittery berries amongst the greenery.... glitter is a bit camera shy as you can see from the whole card shot....


I've used two Paper Smooches sets for this card... the leaves and berries are from 'Reflections' and the sentiment is from 'All Yule Need'. To make the berries shimmer I used versamark and then Stamp n Bond embossing powder to make the glitter dust stick!!
I will also tell you that the air turned blue for a minute or two whilst I tried to tie that bow on my Bow Easy.... I thought seam binding was supposed to be a dream make bows from!! ...I've decided that finger nails are an advantage, still, got there in the end :0)

I see that Dynamic Duos has this festive colour palette this week too so I'll pop my card in the gallery there too :0)


While I'm here I wanted to let you know that Avery Elle stamps are the latest American brand stamps available from Make the Day Special here in the UK, you can find them here. There are also re-stocks of Lawn Fawn on their way and the December release Paper Smooches will be in next week too.
You can like us on Facebook for future store updates and why not follow the blog too.

Thanks for looking :0)

  19. SHINY! SPARKLY! I love it :)
    I find my Bow Easy gets cantankerous if I am using too short a piece. I try not to cut the 'final size' off the spool of whatever I'm using until it's all ready to come off the tool. I also find it helpful to curse ;)

  20. Oh this is fabulous Jenny, right up my street.
    For an inanimate object, my bow maker certainly has a mind of it`s own. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn`t lol.
