No rain so far today but the wind has a bit of a bite in it. We
went for our walk this morning and it was hood up, hood down, hood up, for the
entire walk (1 hr, 15 minutes today) depending on whether or not there was some
shelter where we were walking. This afternoon I went over to help my quilting
student finish her wall-hanging but her sewing machine was acting up and it was
so frustrating for her. I wish I had brought her over to my house instead.
Maybe I’ll still do that and we can go over the stitches again. Now, it’s back
to my current quilt – an Irish Chain – for one of my sons-in-law whose mother
was Irish.
Today’s card is another Christmas card made with my “swish” die
from Spellbinders....in fact all dies used today are Spellbinder dies.
This time I decided to use up some paper from the stash. First
thing I did was die cut the swish (for lack of a better description I call it a
swish) out of white cardstock, and then the circles out of the Stampin’ Up blue
cardstock. The card base and the label is the same blue cardstock. The snowflake
paper was just left over from another project and I decided to use it now
rather than put it back in the stash. It was glued to the card base leaving
about ¼” border; then the white swish was glued on; then the blue circles glued
in place; then the snowflake was added with a
dimensional glue dot. The label was glued down last and
the sentiment is a gold peel-off. I wanted to extend the gold to the swish so I
added three gold snowflake peel-offs to the circles and the snowflake.
That’s all for a windy Tuesday,
Cheers
Violet
