Christmas Friday...

Happy Friday,

I thought it was time I reintroduced Christmas Friday where I post a festive inspiration project every friday.

Todays project is made using the cut and emboss folders this time the baubles and I have made a separate shaker element for each of the three baubles.  I cut the folder firstly in watercolour card then twice more in funky foam ( Available form all good craft shops)  I Spray glued the card front to a piece of acetate and then added the two layers of foam behind.  This makes separate shaker cups that here I filled with microbeads and stars.













I finished the card with some gentle shading in blue and the Swirl ivy in green and a poinsettia cut in vellum and shaded in blue.

Enjoy...

    Morning John, oh I like this sample, great idea about the funky foam so that you get separate shaker options and you can fill with different items, yes great idea. Special hugs xx

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Lovely card John A great way to use funky foam - no risk of “bits” escaping AND no sagging too

    I love this one John but am a bit confused, is the acetate also embossed? Love your shaker stars and microbeads inside, looks great.

    Interesting how the micro beads look like bubbles in the baubles. Could use in the Champagne bottles.... I was thinking about those tree lights many years ago that "bubbled". A great Christmas card, John!
