Blue Christmas...

Hello again!  I have a couple of cards to share with you today created in one of my most favorite holiday color combinations, aqua, red, and cream.  These were both created for Festive Friday and are based on the challenge there.  

I used Pink Paislee Snow Village, a bit of Basic Grey, a Crafty Secrets vintage image and stamp sets from Papertrey Ink including Sew Simples Borders, 2010 Holiday Tags, and Confetti Garland Borders.    

This card uses more Crafty Secrets and Basic Grey's new 25th & Pine collections...it's so much fun.

I used Freckled Fawn washi tape, a Prima flower, and scrunched seam binding from My Craft Spot.

You can play along too if you'd like.  The details can be found HERE.

Have a wonderful day!
Melissa

I love all of your cards and aspire to make some in a similar style. Do you have a tutorial on how to make bows with scrunchy seam binding?

Somehow I missed this post and I'm so very glad that I decided to scan through some back posts. These cards are so festive and reminiscent of charming, cozy Christmases. I've been enjoying these cards you've been making lately - long and narrow with the bottom-rounded corners. I tried a card with that look and was so happy with how it turned out. Thank you for the inspiration.

I'm behind in visiting you, so I hadn't seen the other one yet! Gorgeous!! I am glad I stopped by when I did - I grabbed it for this week's post too! I wish I could layer things so beautifully like you do - I try so hard, but you make it look so easy! ;)
