Polka Dot SNOWman

Our Navy Polka Dot card stock makes a great snowy background and like all of a muse studio card stock it's white on the inside which is one of my favorite features.  Below is a peek at the inside too.  (The blues actually match better IRL, not sure why the photo looks so different.)

Christmas is in the Air

I did a workshop last week and highlighted a few sets that are 40% off right now during the a muse studio "Everyday is a Holiday" sale.  In the spirit of my "Halloccasions" cards we made this Christmas card using a Valentine set (Love is in the Air), and we made a get well card using a Christmas set (Hark) and we also made a masculine birthday card using a Halloween set (Nevermore) which is a true "Halloccasions" card. Stay tuned and I'll post that one soon!

This is one of the cards we made in my Season's Sampler workshop back in August/September.  I love using the Christmas Joy & Cheer die set to create by trimming (or not trimming) the branches for whatever "feel" the project needs in this case a wintery day for the cardinals to enjoy.
