I'm proud to announce that I'm a Guest Designer for Crimbo Crackers this challenge and the theme is "Shaped Cards." Once again, I tackled white-on-white which is NOT something I do very often. For some reason, I just can't leave it all white. I end up adding something every time but this time I'm really pleased with the silver sparkle. What do you think?
I cut the card shape with a die from QuicKutz and the tree is one of my newest dies from Spellbinders. I cut it twice out of white, embossed the top one, and I fussy cut both of those before I layered them onto each other with dimensional foam. I die cut the bottom layer of the tree from silver sparkle paper. Now you see why I trimmed up both of the white layers. I wanted that silver to show up.
The snowflake flurry was cut out of the card front with a die from Memory Box. I cut sparkle paper with the same QuicKutz die I used for the overall card shape, but cutting only a single layer this time which is adhered to the back side of the card front, showing through the negative space of the die cut.

Come visit us on Crimbo Crackers and play in the challenge. All you need is a Christmas or Festive Holiday card which is shaped -- something other than rectangle or square. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Hi Connie, congratulations on your GDT. I too avoid doing white on white as I end up adding colour. This is gorgeous and loving the touch of silver sparkle.
