Be Merry

Welcome! I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring Tim Holtz' Mechanics 3D Texture Fade and a sweet Christmas Paper Doll.

I started by embossing some Christmas Kraft Stock from last year release with the 3D folder. I spritzed the back of the card with water and passed it three times through my die cut machine as Tim recommends, placing my paper face down for a different look. After it was completely dry,  I sanded the card pretty hard and swiped it with the Iced Spruce Distress Oxide pad. I swiped the back portion of the folder with Black Soot Distress ink, carefully replaced the card-realigning it with the design on the upper portion of the folder. I made a couple more passes in the die cut machine to transfer the ink.

I layered this panel over a Stitched Rectangle panel cut from black card and layered again over another design from the Christmas Kraft Stock pad and another layer of black card. I sanded the second Kraft Stock panel and blended with Iced Spruce oxide ink.

I kept the embellishments simple with a  Mini Paper Snowflake cut from gold corrugated card from my stash highlighted with gesso and a Holiday Flashcard cut down to fit my smaller card. I cut "be" from a Holiday Talk Metallic sticker--"Remember This" and layered it on some black card to complete my greeting. Don't you think this cute Paper Doll is the epitome of merriment? She's been sanded lightly and colored with Vintage Photo Distress Crayon.

    1. Hi Beth, Thank you for your comment and question. I used Tim Holtz' Christmas Kraft stock, which is this deep Christmas red with pink undertones. I sanded it to reveal the kraft core and blended it with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide. That gives it a bit of a pink look. I hope this helps!

  10. Hello everyone!! I'm Marilyn Here in the States and I'm here to talk about what Dr. James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year. This disease started circulating all over my body and  I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Val acyclovir, Acyclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! From my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from  Dr. James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system, and I was tested negative after 15 days of using  Dr. James herbal mix medicine. I'm here to let you all know that the herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr. James herbal medicine.  I came across a testimony of Tasha, on the internet testifying about Dr. James, on how he cured Her of 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of  the great Dr. James  (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com...]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about me (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too, Dr. James prepared and sent me his herbal mix medicine made of roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal mix medicine, I was totally cured. No more inching, pain on me anymore as Dr. James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. The result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like Alzheimer's Disease, Warts, Moles, Bipolar disorder, Shingles, HPV, HIV/AIDS, ALS, HBP, CANCER, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts, Macular degeneration, Cardiovascular disease, Autism, Lung disease. Enlarged prostate, Osteoporosis. Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, Tach Diseases, Lupus, Backache, dementia. Kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer. Testicular Cancer, LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY., etc. you can contact  the great  one  directly on his........@ drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com  He is a good man, and He will help you.
