Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the One Day Special shows.

I'm off to meet my parents for lunch today (if I can get out of bed!). With my Mom recovering from her Stroke, I didn't want her to do Christmas at her house and I didn't want them to come to me as my stairs are tricky, Kathryn is away with her boyfriend and his family for Christmas and Nathan probably won't surface until tea time, we're not doing Christmas this year. I'm just meeting Mom and Dad for a lovely Christmas Meal at a lovely Pub today instead (same food, alot cheaper!). Tomorrow, I will be starting a major clear up of my Craft Room. It's beyond silly now - I can't find anything and the cats can't get on the bed anywhere for a snooze!

Here's today's card -

For the background,I stamped the Justrite Winter Wonder Stamp onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Mirage Embossing Powder. I ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with Sue Wilson's Classic Weaving Die. I also cut the die from a piece of Coconut White Card. I cut the white die cut into strips and wove my background.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Special Gifts Labels Twenty-Nine Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue's Dainty Rectanglular Frame Die Set. I cut the largest die in the set out of Black Card.

I cut the largest 2 dies in both the complete and the overlay styles in Sue's Striped Nasturtium Die Set out of Coconut White Card twice. I pressed the overlay die cuts into Clear Perfect Medium and embossed them with CS Black Mirage Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I added a Small Black Circle Dazzler to the centre of the flowers. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Swirly Leaf Trio Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding Black and Coconut White Card mats and Small Black Circle Dazzlers to the corners of my frame.

Thanks for stopping by.
