November Waltzingmouse SOAP CASE challenge

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

  7. I 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!
