Fast and Festive Week Two – Candy Cane Season

Happy Friday!

Welcome to my second week of Five Fridays of Fast and Festive Christmas Cards!

Here is this week’s card:

I placed the candy cane and sentiment on my Stamparatus and stamped them at the same time in Real Red on to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White. An additional candy cane was stamped and punched. Using two sizes of ovals from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, I cut a frame in Garden Green. Baker’s Twine was tied around the Whisper White layer, the candy cane and frame were adhered with dimensionals, and then assembled on a Garden Green card base which was cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/4, scored at 4 1/4. A few red rhinestones were added and the card was complete.


On to the fast and festive inside and coordinating envelope:

Waste not, want not–the Garden Green oval that was left over after die-cutting the frame for the front of the card, was used on the inside! The sentiment was stamped in Real Red and die-cut.


The double candy cane image was stamped in Real Red on the front of the envelope.


So, what do you think of today’s card? Please leave a comment on this post and/or my Facebook page post. I will be raffling off this card on Monday via random draw from all the comments posted!

Happy crafting!
