Shellebrate

I LOVE Shellebrate the Season!

Isn't it the cutest set? I think that the snowman on a surfboard, well, it is just da BOMB! don't ya think?

Ok, well, I am from California, and I guess we're just surf crazy...well, not everyone is, but this set is my favorite Cutie Christmas set. I am not really going to use this one for my cards that I send out, but I am going to use this for a thank you, or other card to send out to someone!

I used my Cuttlebug embossing folders to make the background textured, and I am hoping that when Stampin' Up! comes out with their versions of textured backgrounds, that they have something similar to this one! *(I don't know for sure if they will come out with textured backgrounds, but....it was hinted....!!!).....so Let's just hope that it will come out soon!

Now, to give the background even more texture, I used 2 way glue on the textured areas, and then sprinkled glitter over the areas, making the snowflakes shine.

I even used dots of glue on the snowman and the water to make it look glittery. The textured paper is stitched to the Baja Breeze, and accented with Riding Hood Red and the striped ribbon...!!!
