Christmas Card No. 36!

TA-DA! This is the last Christmas card I'll be posting this year. I hope you've enjoyed all the different cards I've posted over the last couple of months and that you found one to use as your Christmas card! How about this one? This is called a criss-cross card - and don't fall over when I tell you this, but IT'S MY OWN DESIGN! Are you proud of me? I am! Actually, I would love to have more time to create my own cards and 3D items, but for some reason, it's an extremely slow process for me and it takes FOREVER to come up with something that I'm totally happy with, so until I can speed up my creative process, I'll just be a good finder of creative things for you! The supplies I used to make this card are as follows: Cherry Cobbler Card Stock (119685); Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650); Crumb Cake Card Stock (120953); Always Artichoke Textured Card Stock (119971); Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper (120810); Scenic Season - my NEW favorite stamp set (115354); Always Artichoke Ink (105219); Early Espresso Ink (119670); Cherry Cobbler Marker (119681); SNAIL Adhesive (104332); Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049); 2-Way Glue Pen (100425); Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (102023); Sticky Strip - for the belly band (104294); Five-Petal Flower Punch (119880); Stampin' Dimensionals (104430); Antique Brads (117273).
