The Joy's of Creating

This Christmas

CASEing Juana Ambida's card 



Have you ever made a card & had absolutely NO PLAN of just how or what you were going to do to pull it off!
OR
Have you ever lost something in your creative space!

Sometimes creating with out a plan works a treat & everything just flows, when that happens 'Ooooh' the feeling is so very wonderful :-)

BUT 

When I am looking at Juan's card, the card that I am to CASE my mind just goes BLANK.
 I don't have this set or that set, nor that DSP paper hahaha & to top it off I can't find my Pretty Pine thinlits! 
I only saw it yesterday gosh darn it! 
I remember sitting it on top of something, hmmm!?!

OK time to put my BIG GIRL PANTS ON!

I grabbed every Christmas set I had.....then put them all back lol.
Gosh what is wrong with me...I am, distracted.... 
I only needed to pull just 1 or 2 elements from Juana's card to CASE it with. 
Get a grip woman!
Ok what does it have....A piece of string....Loads of Christmas sentiments, patterned DSP Paper, Contrasting top & pretty pines die cuts using THINLITS... 
Aaaaargh THINLITS

Well that just darn well reminds me all over AGAIN
! WHERE is THAT thinlits set of mine!

Sooooooo I end up pulling my craft room apart.......this is instead of what I am supposed to be doing.
Ah ha! Eureka! I found some die cuts I had previously cut from the set....BUT STILL NO THINLITS....
much
SADNESS

Still I have the Pine Bough embossing folder & the stamp set! 
It WILL turn up....
I try to console myself....
sniff :'(

Ok back to creating....Grabbing the gorgeous 'This Christmas' DSP.. I found an idea had started to bloom in my head. 
I reached for my Pine Bough embossing Folder & a Window Sheet. 

Oh My 
I loved the effect!!!

The idea was in full flower now!

I grabbed those die cuts I had found earlier (during the demolishing search of my room) & heat embossed them in silver.
I cut and folded some Very Vanilla card stock for my base....Looking at the DSP I had chosen I grabbed some Garden Green & some Black card stock also. 
I started layering them all. 
Embossed Window Sheet attached with Tear & Tape & a spot of glue along the top only under the gathered Music sheet, reverse side of the main DSP. Then onto the main DSP, straight onto Black, then onto Garden Green with dimesnionals & then straight onto Very Vanilla. 
Hmmmm needed something
Black twine and a silver embellishment!....nope something else......Snow flakes! 
Flurry of wishes makes an appearance. 
I heat embossed the littlest flakes onto black card stock and punched them out.

Okay I think I am happy with it now..

Oops forgot something!
Must have rhinestones to finish the snow flakes :-)
& I never forget to carry the theme to the inside of the card!

Aaaaaah
Perfect!


AND
No I still haven't found my Pretty Pines Thinlit dies !
