Hi Everyone,

Barbara here and it's time for a Sunday Inspiration. It's been so hot here in the midwest I thought I'd make a Christmas card to cool off. Well, I didn't get any cooler but I decided this is probably going to be my Christmas card for the upcoming season.

I love working with Petallics (a shimmery card stock) and silver CS , however they are tough to photograph.so,I apologize for the glare, I took so many pic's and never did get rid of the glare.

This card is a trifold design and the card stock is a beautiful shimmery blue. I love this card design and I added a belly band to add elegance to the card. I used punch # 923 on the belly band and it ties together with the inside.

Here is the back of the card showing the belly band punched out all the way around. I actually layered the belly band. I used a silver band with a slightly smaller punched shimmery band on top.

 Here is the inside. I decided to layer the sentiment. I used the star template to give me the 8 sided doily look. The circle cutter cuts out the sentiment. I centered the sentiment on top of the doily. Again I used punch 923 with inset C to achieve the corners you see here on the silver CS.

That is it for today. Stay cool and I will be back in a few weeks.  Have a great week.
