There were so many absolutely divine cards to choose from in this month's SOAP blogs but this one, from Day One was a standout for me, minimal but SO elegant - and framed, just how I like my cards. Now I have a use for all the foil cardboard leftover from daycare and school projects. I may CASE this one for my Christmas cards if I get to them too late - just to let you know in advance Julia .
Here is my version of Julia's design, got my new stamps just in time. I really didn't want to change anything as St. Nick looks so regal in blue. But I found red first and used the Nutcracker instead. Love how the light bounces off the foil.
What you need
Cardstock - Bazzill Basics white; red metallic cardboard
Stamps - WMS Nutcracker Sweet; Nordic Winter
Ink - SU Real Red
Gems - Kaisercraft
Beautiful! I love it. So neat and tidy, and a great image. And I've been admiring Nordic Winter...I might come and play one day... :-)
ReplyDeleteSpecially the red card is so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh SO AWESOME! I love your take on Julia's card...now I want to make one, too! The combo of the Nutcracker Sweet set and Nordic Winter looks AMAZING! Love the red and white!!
ReplyDeleteLovely CAS card! Great CASE of Julia's beautiful card! Love the red and white color combo! Thanks for joining along with the WM fun :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I love the Nutcracker with the stamped border behind him---just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove how you combined the Nordic winter with the nutcracker!! This card is simply stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI like yours even better--sorry Julia! Especially the fussy cutting that I've come to expect from you, and that cool background strip from Nordic Winter (I've been drooling over that one). If you figure out a way to mass produce a card that takes this much cutting--I want to know!
ReplyDeleteI'm honored that you CASE'd one of my cards Cassandra - I love the border you stamped behind the nutcracker and the red looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm Lovin' the red nutcracker! This CAS card is a real BEAUTY, Cassandra!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the composition with the line of Nordic leading your eye.
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding, Cassie. I love the clean lines and the wonderful Christmas red color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! Love the simple design with stunning results. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I adore the Nutcracker Prince and I do like the way you've used the Nordic winter set too! Fab!
ReplyDeleteOh this is stunning!!! I LOVE this guy in red and that background strip just sets him off to perfection!! Thank you so much for playing along with us!!
ReplyDeleteI love these, Cassandra! It's neat to see the images just as line images instead of colored.
