Too much time on my hands

So what happens when a papercrafter finds herself with time on her hands?

She makes something.
  

Since I had not put away the supplies from the card I had made a few days ago..... (see previous post) I decided to make another.  I used the same supplies so I won't list them again.  Only this time I changed a few things.

And.........since I have a whole ton of time on my hands at the moment,  I decided to show you each step.

First I had to dismantle a few 3D embellishments.

I used those two parts and a balsa wood snowflake to make this:

I love the embellishments as they are, but sometimes I like to take them apart and rearrange the pieces. I also removed a layer of that pop up sticky stuff in order to be able to actually mail this card someday.

I set that aside and moved on to make the card. I layered the paper to a piece of cream card stock sponged the edges of the card base with  ink.   Both inside and outside.

Then I added crocheted lace and ....

one piece of gold trimmed ribbon.....

one piece of red ribbon....

and another piece of gold trimmed ribbon....

  

After that it gets pretty ordinary......
...........since the dogs were bugging me to go out for a walk.

 I added the snowflake and Seasons greetings and a bit off holly that I dissected from the 3D embellishments,  and scraps of the gold trimmed ribbon .    To get to this:

After the walk I played with the inside and came up with this:

Then just for grins I created a collage ......just because I had taken so many photos.

If  you want to know why I am making Christmas Cards so soon after Christmas.....
........just blame these gals at   jingle belles

since I still have time on my hands I think I'll go clean a bathroom.   I promise I won't take photos.
