Make It Merry with Thistle!

Who is ready for Christmas?   Not me!!  I still have a little bit of shopping to do but not alot.  Just finding the time is difficult.  Even finding time to create has been hard!  I'm way behind on prepping my January classes but hope to make alot of progress by the end of this week!

We have a workgroup lunch tomorrow and I offered to make the Christmas Card to go along with our boss's gift.  My boss LOVES bling and she loves anything the color of purple even more.  So, I thought it would be fun to create a card using the color she loves most with lots of glitter and sparkle!


This was one of my favorite stamps that came out last year and it's still available this year.  It is called Make It Merry.  I stamped the scooter with black ink and again with Thistle Ink.  I used the Peony Purple ShinHan Marker to color the base of the scooter.  I cut the wheel covers and the headlights from the scooter that I had stamped in Thistle ink and adhered them on top of the scooter.
I used the masking technique to stamp "Make It Merry" in the two colors of Thistle and Pear.  Adding the glitter paper and shimmer trim with lots of sparkles makes it pretty blingy don't you think?

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
