Striped Merry Christmas

Here's those Scentsational Framelits again. They are so fun & easy to use. Remember the days when we had to cut out everything by hand? Well not with Framelits! Isn't this Christmas DSP so cute? I loved every design in this pack!
Enjoy & I hope you have a Happy Friday!!!

3-D Ornament

There are many variations of this card. So simple... So beautiful! Basically you stamp the ornaments, cut them out or run thro the Big Shot with ornament Framelits. Then fold exactly in half from top to bottom. You then adhere them to each other on both sides of front ornament creating a flat side on back then adhere that to card onto the oval in the middle of the embossed front. Add ribbon & greeting & you have a gorgeous card!!!

1 c butter
2 egg yolks beaten reserve whites
Combine dry ingredients & cut in butter till crumbly. Mix in yolks, will be crumbly.
Press 1/2 of this mixture into bottom of 9x13 baking pan. Set remaining mixture aside for topping.
FILLING: 4 c apples peeled & sliced
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c flour
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
Mix all & spread over crust. Top with remaining crumbs. Brush with beaten egg whites. Bake at 350• for 40 min. Serve with whipped cream.

Ornament Christmas

This card combines some unlikely Christmas colors ( in my opinion) . But after putting them together I really like them! This card it super simple too!!! I think that the "bundles" in the holiday catalog were a great idea also. Anyway here it is : a Baja Breeze & Chocolate Chip card.
