Countdown to Christmas Day 2

Hey!

Happy Monday & welcome back to day 2 of my Countdown to Christmas. If the days keep flying by like they have this past weekend I don't think I will ever be ready! I was at The Paperlane yesterday for a little demo as it was Santa Sunday in Northallerton. I made a couple of cards and they all featured glitter, such a quick & easy way to add sparkle to a CAS creation. 

I've just whipped up a couple more cards using mainly double sided tape to adhere the glitter...

Double sided tape is available in so many different widths it is easy to create lots of different variations. I've used a 12 mm wide DST on both these cards today, which is double the width of DST I normally use. This made adding the strips easier and it was quick to fill a panel of CS. Using a fine glitter like the Hero Arts Prisma Glitter goes a long way, making these two cards hardly made a dent in my pot of glitter.

For my second card I did some super CAS stamping using the little tree from Label Love: Christmas to create a larger tree & of course adding lots of glitter...

I started out by stamping the 3 trees along the bottom starting with the right hand side and stamping towards the left and then built my tree up from there. I added some simple red rhinestones to tie in the sentiment stamped in red and added some glitter to the trees. Before I adhered the panel to the card base I used the same technique as the first card using my wide DST and glitter.

Both my cards took me under 20 minutes to make and with a simple assembly line style a batch of each could be whipped up in no time at all. Plus, if you get bored like me making all the  cards the same, switch them up by changing the colours of the CS or even the glitter. Another positive thing about both these cards is that they use minimal supplies which equals minimal cost. 

Both these cards are perfect for the Sparkle "less is more" challenge HERE too, so I will be linking these beauties up a bit later. Be sure to checkout the challenge & also ALL the inspiration in the gallery.

Ok, that's all from me today I have some lovely customer orders to pack & post - thank you :) and some 'to do lists' to write!
