It's that time of year again . . .
we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and
what better way to do it than playing along with the
at
The prompt from Day 12 is the letter J
Now you would think that my "J" would be some Jingle Bells
... and you would be wrong!
My "J" is a Jolly Snowman Jigsaw card,
using Frank the Snowman digital stamp from Beccy's Place.
I have been trying to make some creative kids projects
to share this year and thought that a jigsaw might be fun.
I started with my Silhouette Cameo design mat, opened my jigsaw cut file, decided on the size I wanted to make, printed the image on textured cardstock twice (one to cut in to jigsaw pieces & one to use for the background) then cut using my Cameo. I made a frame to build up a border around the image and nestle the pieces in place then added it to a 5 1/2" square card base.
I cut three extra sets of jigsaw pieces in white cardstock and layered them with the image pieces to make them thicker and sturdier.
