Mojo Monday 270 Merry Christmas!

I haven't been doing too much crafting the last few days because of a nagging headache, but it let up a bit late last night so I took full advantage to get some things done around the house.  HA!!!  No I didn't!  I took full advantage to make my Mojo Monday card!  Hee, hee, come on, I totally have my priorities straight.  ;)

Here my card:

 and here is this week's sketch:

 I really had fun with this one.  The snowflake border and solid snowflake cut are on page 79 of the Artiste handbook.  I embossed the Cranberry Cardstock for the background with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder on my trusty old model red Sizzix machine.  Did you know that the size A2 embossing folders will work with this old machine?  If you have one, dig it out and put it to good use!  ;)  A little bit of sanding revealed the white core nicely. 

I really was anxious to use one of our BRAND NEW products in this card as well--Close to My Heart Glitter Paper!!!  I used it to mat my sentiment for some shine.  This is a sneak peak at one of our exciting new products coming in the Spring/Summer Idea Book.  You can actually even get this fabulous paper starting December 13th!  Details to follow below!  If you like our Shimmer Trim, then you will love this paper--it is the same texture and sparkle! 

I also added a glitter button from the Bohemian Assortment (retiring, so get yours while they last!) with a tiny bow of Black Waxy Flax.  Have you tried our Waxy Flax?  It is like Bendaroos for adults!  Soooo much fun!  I love using it for bows on buttons because it is super-easy to thread it through the button holes.

So, do you want to get your hands on some of this amazing Glitter Paper?  Starting Dec. 13th when you place an order of $35, you can get a 12 x 12 sheet of it in the Whooo's Your Valentine Kit to celebrate National Papercrafting Month!  Have a look!

This kit offers you a sneak peek at two new Spring/Summer 2013 products: the treat tubes and the silver glitter paper!  This is a limited time offer and only available while supplies last, so don't wait!
