MIC Secret Santa Swap Share

Hello!

It's been raining the past couple of days, so happy to see the sun out, but we truly needed the rain. Hopefully we'll get more of it soon.  Today I wanted to share the card & mini calendar I made for my Make It Crafty Secret Santa swap partner on FB.  Whew!  (hahaha)  First up is the card featuring adorable Tinkles the elf.


I'm so digging the WOW with a touch of color.  In this case it was a little bit of blue, silver with some golden highlights.  Used a Darice die, Crafter's Companion embossing folder, TGF snowflake die, some MIC chippies, CC Designs "jingle" bell cutters,  MFT Grosgrain texture board, more of those white floral sequins and some white floss. For the color I used Copics and Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean Distress inks.  I made it into a gate fold card that measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.  A few more pics of the inside...


I did some selective embossing on the inside panel using the same embossing folder and used an AmyR stamp for the sentiment inside...


I ended up covering the back of the card with some pretty MS lace paper because the card base had warped from the glue on the inside panel.  I thought it was a pretty touch to add as a cover up.


 Next up is the mini calendar featuring 3 MIC stamps: Fifi from the Mini Sprites setDaffodil Dell background and the sentiment from Just wanted to say.


There is also a mini chippie butterfly fluttering in the corner.  The card base is from American Crafts, and the mini calendar is from Taylored Expressions.  Thought it would be nice to gift my partner with something fun, functional and bright for 2015.


Well better get back to the craft table.  I have a couple projects for work that I need to prep for and it's probably going to take me all day/night.  Wish me luck!!  Happy Saturday!!!  Thanks for stopping by!
