TSOL: Merry Christmas Lights

Hello! Today I have a card using the fabulous lights4Christmas set from The Stamps of life.  I also used the coordinating die set to cut my lights and the banner.  The inside of the lights are paper pieced with scraps of paper.  The wire was created with baker's twine.  I inked the edges with Old Paper Distress ink and I also scored some lines to create a frame in the background.
I always hate untangling and checking all of my lights when decorating for the holiday.  It is definitely my least favorite part of decorating!

TSOL: Shabby Chic Christmas

Hello! Today I have a card to share using The Stamps Of Life lights4Christmas set and matching dies.  I went for a shabby chic look.  I paper pieced the lights and colored the tops with copic markers and Prisma pencils.  I added some silver tinsel ribbon and silver sequins and distressed the edges of the papers with Old Paper distress ink. I also rubbed the distress ink over the embossed swiss dots.

TSOL: lights4Christmas

Hello! I wanted to share a card I made using the new release from The Stamps Of Life, lights4Christmas.  I used the matching die set for the lights and paper pieced them.  I love the sentiments that come with this set, too! 
The green twine is from The Twinery.  I used Tombow Multi to adhere it to the card base.  I usually apply it in the pattern I want my twine to be in.  I let it dry a little, so it is slightly tacky, and then I adhere the twine.
I am glad to have more "crafty" time now that the boys are back in school.  We had a fun filled, busy summer, and I am thankful to be back in a routine of sorts!

Thanks for stopping by!
