The Jingle Belles theme this week is "Lonely This Christmas (aka Tagging Along)" . This means that we should make a card, and then so that it isn't lonely, make a matching item of some sort that can then be linked up with The Order of the Opus Gluei who have teamed up with Jingle Belles for this crossover event.
All good stuff.
Delving into some very precious and very vintage BasicGrey (ah Blitzen, my favourite of favourites!) I decided to use my Cricut to cut out a card and matching envelope. I lavished some gorgeous red ribbon all over it and now I have an adorable set ready to be hand delivered to someone very special.
So beautiful ... Love Basic Grey papers ...

ReplyDeleteOh they're gorgeous, I've not used my cricut to cut cards or envelopes, but after seeing this I'll have to give it a go

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card and the matching envelope is exquisite as well! I know what you mean when you have only a little of a favorite paper left and you are using it sparingly. The red ribbon makes me smile, something about its bright cheeriness!
ReplyDeleteI know that this will make its recipient very happy. Thank you so much for taking time to participate in the dual Opus Gluei and Jingle Belles challenge!
Ah. One of my Christmas favourites as well. Looks gorgeous!
