The Cuttlebug Spot Christmas in July

This week The Cuttlebug Spot features Christmas cards. It felt like a welcome relief after all of the hot weather so of course I chose a snowy theme. I've been dying to try a tri shutter card so I watched this fabulous tutorial HERE by Bonnie Szwalkiewicz and found they were really easy to do. The mats were a little tricker for me but I managed and the front and back mats lent themselves to the Snowy Village Cuttlebug folder quite nicely. Much of the detail was enhanced by Frosted Lace stickles. The pretty acetate glitter snowflakes on the front and back panels are from Me & My Big Ideas.

I used the Snowflakes folder on the top and bottom larger interior mats and left the smaller ones blank to decorate with Rain Dot snowflakes. All mats are outlined with silver peelies. The sentiment was computer generated and cut and embossed with the Labels 4 Nesties. Between the iridescent blue card stock, the white mats and the stickles this card didn't photograph very well but it's quite pretty IRL. If you ask me, the Cuttlebug is THE way to go when doing multiple Christmas cards so why don't you get started early and come play along with us at The Cuttlebug Spot? We have another fabulous prize awaiting, and while you're there, do check out the gorgeous creations by my DT sisters.
