Usually I don’t know what I will end up when I start to make a card or project even when I “think” I know what I am going to make, as is the case with this Layered Letters Fa La La Christmas Card. And you never know where your inspiration will come from – and how much your final project will change from that inspiration!
On a store website, I saw a pillow with “Fa La La” printed on it, and I immediately thought of the Layered Letters Alphabet Stamp Set. I thought their colors looked a lot like Cherry Cobbler so that is how I started. I decided to stamp the letters and then die cut with the new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. These dies are unavailable right now but will be back! The Garden Green background layer is cut with the Layering Squares Framelits Dies.
I couldn’t fit just the three words on the card very well so I tried to see what else I could do. I thought the Christmas tree from Santa’s Sleigh would be nice. You can get the stamp set and framelits in a Bundle and save 10%! And in the Bundle you also get little bows, which I used to decorate the tree! I added a Rhinestone Jewel to each bow since I hadn’t stamped the bows first, and I like the way they look! I thought the background needed a little something, so as I looked for the Sparkle Embossing Folder, I came across the Cable Knit Dynamic Folder, which is probably good for almost anything! It’s so beautiful!
And that’s how my card turned out that started with just “Fa La La” in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla turned out!
