Now on to some cards.
I created two Christmas cards to share with you today. Both cards finished size are 5x7 or A7 as they are also called.

Card #1

For this card I used Altenew’s Holiday Bows stamp set, the poinsettia and foliage are perfect for creating floral groupings I stamped and die cut several of the images, stamped and heat embossed. I also cut several geometric Crystal Frames from Altenew’s gold foil cardstock.  For my base I used Navy card and splattered with white gesso. I placed my cut images along the left side while placing the crystal frames thought the foliage. The sentiment was created by using the Mini Christmas set and Beautiful Inside sentiment stamp set. Once everything was adhered to the panel I mounted it onto a white base.

Card #2

My second card displays the newer released Sweet Flowers stamp/die bundle paired again with the Crystal Frames dies. My process was the same as before; stamping/cutting several images and then playing with the layout on my panel. I stayed with a classic themed red/white/green color palette. The gold frames add a festive and elegant touch. Once again the sentiment came from the Beautiful Inside stamp set. I wanted to have a green border and did not have the right colored cardstock so I took a piece of white card and colored the edges with the same Shadow Creek ink I used for some of the flowers.

I hope I’ve inspired you to make some more Christmas cards! Keep “hopping” along to see loads more inspiring work. Next on the hop is Rosie Neustaedter

  21. Since it is used for multiple purposes, the substance itself will not get you in trouble. However, using it to cheat a drug test can lead to severe repercussions. Repercussions can include issues such as being fired from your job. In certain areas, you might even need to disclose this information to future employers. Don’t forget to read up on legal repercussions, if any, in your country so you can be absolutely sure. Synthetic urine has been a necessity for quite a while now. From the time drug tests became a rigid tool, synthetic urine has been free flowing in the market. In all this time, companies have managed to perfect their formulas, so choosing the very best can be hard. Thankfully, we've managed to put together a list of the very best synthetic urine products and from that we have chosen both Test Clear and Quick Luck as the best ones so far.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px" /> Being the result of superior-quality ingredients and 18 years of lab research, Quick Luck synthetic urine is designed to go completely undetectable. Made from 11 chemical compounds, including urea and uric acid, this synthetic urine is also unisex. In addition to that, it is 100% effective. The powdered synthetic urine kit also comprises two heating pads, as well as a heat-activator powder. The best part about this product is that it remains fresh and intact for about 10 hours after being activated. So, you have nothing to worry about even if the test schedule gets delayed for some reason. Currently, this powdered synthetic urine kit is among the few synthetic urine products that are premixed as well as has all these features and apparatus in its kit.
