I hope you enjoyed this card - thanks for stopping by! I used a thick liquid glue like Aleene's Tacky and dotted the back with glue and then attached to my card. I took a very small piece of tape and taped the cutouts on the back so they wouldn't fall out later. For this card I left in the wing and head cut outs because I did not want the background to show through. The angel die (I used the smaller one) has a lot of cut outs. I ran this through with the Frantic Stamper Livermore Loop border die before attaching to my card.

I glued the gold glossy and the red suede paper to each other and left a longer piece of gold showing at the bottom. I used gold ripple card, a pretty red and white patterned, gold glossy and red suede papers for my mats. My card base is white and measures 5 1/2 inches x 4 1/4 inches. So, today's card is a Christmas Angel that I made using two of Frantic Stamper's Precision Dies: Angel and Peacock (that's right - peacock!) I love this time of year! The papers and embellishments are extra gorgeous and the old time stamp and die images remind me of when I was a child at Christmas. Halo'd Angel Christmas Cardby Lis Whiting The suede paper adds a tactile accent and the two acrylic flowers add that 3-D effect I like so much. I really like the way this card turned out. I used some red jewels for the berries and added a couple of poinsettia flowers in acrylic and the word "Rejoice" (from a Dazzles sticker set). I added my green suede holly branch at the bottom of my card. I added a few music notes (another great Frantic Stamper die) in gold glitter also. I attached my angel with glue stick (TIP: I dabbed it on - don't rub or you'll get clumps because of the intricacy of the die cut.) I used the flourish from the cut out of the angel as the "music" she was blowing on her horn. I also decided to add a little color and cut out some holly on a rich green suede paper. I edged the entire card front with one row of white pearls. I chose on a a card base of plain white and I covered the front with a white patterned pearl paper. I wanted to use the new Angel cutting die from Frantic Stamper I decided to cut it out of gold glitter card stock. It was a 'joy' (pun intended) to make, and I hope it was fun to receive, too! I hope you will try a simple shaped card like this one sometime, too. I then trimmed my card with a wide border around the letters and the bird to make it into a shaped card. I glued all the pieces onto my card, including Mr. I also die-cut a couple of holly leaves and a berry cluster. I sketched the letters "J" and "Y" onto a piece of scrap paper, making sure they would fit onto a 4"x5 1/2" card, then cut them out and traced them onto the back of my patterned papers, and cut them again. Penguin (using Tombow Mono Adhesive) and set him aside.

Penguin from white card-stock and then used my Copic Markers on the parts that required color black for his body, red for his hat and scarf, and orange for his bill and feet (They could have been cut from individual colors but I didn't have any orange left after Halloween, and I like to color!) I then used a clear Wink of Stella glitter marker on all the parts. She was in the midst of finals, so I wanted to send her something that would brighten her day. I wanted a fun and festive card to send to my daughter who is away at graduate school.
