CAS Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

I wanted a design I could make 4 cards of for my August quota, but I feel a bit meh about this, so it's not going to be it. The lettering inside is cut from silver glitter card, so it is more sparkly. Also I highlighted the embossing on the folder with a silver pen. It's pouring rain here today and hard to get a good photo :-(.

All I can say Sabrina is that your "meh" is my "oh wow, I can't believe this turned out so great!" The shiny sentiment along with the pretty pine die cut is such a pleasing look. I wish I could send you our Hot sunshine in exchange for a little rain. There is only one small patch of green grass left in my yard. Everything else looks just lije your pinecones.

I can't believe you aren't thrilled with this - I think it's awesome! The die cut pine bough is gorgeous and looks fantastic in the corner of the frame. Terrific design!

I like the touches of glitter on the thin lines of the word and image. Just the right sweetnote!

One woman's meh is another woman's wow. This may not be a card you want to reproduce, but it's certainly worth sending to someone! Love the open front with the acorn and pine branch frame.

I think this card is gorgeous! There is nothing meh about it, but I do understand because I think we can, at times, be our worst critic. Or we have worked on something a long time and we are simply tired of it. However, this card is stunning! I love everything about it and whomever receives it will be thrilled with it! ~Karen.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this card!!! The cones & boughs and hanging ornament and a peek to the inside - winner, winner, winner!
You commented that you are meh about this card....I noticed that the only element of this card with no sparkle/shine is the greenery. A twist of the silver cording/string at the base of the pine cones and light touch of Wink of Stella might be all this card needs to make you love it as much as I do!
Popping this puppy into my favorites as an inspiration piece. TFS!
