This week Nancy chose Niki, Monique, as our FS. What a fun gallery you have. I spent a long time in your gallery choosing several that I wanted to case. I finally chose THIS Nutcracker Christmas. This is my first Christmas card of 2020! I changed --
- a more CAS version
- different dsp
- rectangle panel instead of a circle & only 1 layer
- 3-D nutcracker stitcker
- no added sentiment - the dsp does the talking
- sponged edges of die cut
I die cut the rectangle from a fishtail die, using a technique I learned from Roberta (stampin'nana), to shorten the die to fit my nutcracker. I put the paper in the die a 2nd time to cut across the bottom (open) edge.
I brushed around the edges of the die lightly with RR & a make-up brush.
Niki, enjoy your time in the spotlight and the cards made in your honor.
Thanks for stopping by.

I really like your 1st Christmas card for this year! The Nutcracker is wonderful......love what you did with the fishtail die. It works like magic.
