With Christmas a mere 5 days away, if you need a quick card –this could be just the ticket. It's a "clean and simple" style with just three dies and a stamp. Boom–that's pretty easy.
I did discover a little tip to share with you when using the Frosted Christmas Tree die. The detail on this die is lovely and to enhance it to the fullest, use some rubbing alcohol before sending it through the cutting machine. I poured a small amount of rubbing alcohol into an empty spray/mister bottle, placed the die on the paper, misted both lightly, then ran it through the machine. Before removing the die, wait until the paper feels completely dry (the rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly–more so than if you spritzed with water). The dampening of the paper with rubbing alcohol allows the die to deeply imprint into the paper–give it a try.
On the trees shown I used this technique on the white tree only–see the difference? I shortened the middle tree just a little and "squiggle-cut" the bottom edge. "Squiggle-cut" is a highly technical term.
Since this is my last post before the gift wrap settles, may you have the best Christmas ever. Wishing you good health, safe travels, the love of family and friends nearby and a time for reflecting on the meaning and spirit of Christmas.
Oh and something to look forward to…new Memory Box designs very soon…can't wait to show you!
Happy Friday,
