Ho! Ho! Ho! A trendy Christmas card

Whilst we were at the crop weekend earlier this month, we borrowed the moustache framelit from a fellow attendee, Randa. Caro and I made some superhero boxes using it but she’d also seen a rather cute Christmas card on Facebook pictured from the European convention.

Stampin' Up! Good Greetings on real red with moustache

This card is simple to put together, easy to mass produce if desired and moustaches are very trendy at the moment. Win, win, win, right?

For a change, I made the white mat half an inch smaller than the base so that there was a quarter inch border all the way around rather than my usual 1/8 inch. The top mat is just a quarter inch smaller and showing my usual 1/8 inch border all around. I embossed the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Good Greetings in white embossing powder (Stampin’ Up!’s really is much better than the cheaper brand I initially used!) and then it was a simple matter of using the framelit to cut out the moustache in whisper white. Actually Caro cranked out a whole bunch so that we could give the framelit back to Randa so it was even easier to just grab one of the precut ones. Thanks Caro! I popped the moustache up on dimensionals. I positioned the sentiment and moustache so that it cuts the card in three which I think is rather pleasing. I ran the flap of the envelope through the big shot using the polka dots embossing folder.
