First glance at Jerri’s two cards for today brought these well-known words from a popular Christmas poem to mind. To this day I still love reading this poem by Clement Clarke Moore.

“‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads…”

Paper from Graphic 45’s Twas the Night Before Christmas make these nostalgic cards so easy to create. Jerri used oval dies to cut the images and card shape and coated them with a sugary type of glitter — so very pretty and vintage! Check further down for that glitter. And again Jerri is using the Ivy Die D-Lites in her floral cluster which is such a pretty touch! Take a look:

What a nostalgically beautiful pair of Christmas cards!

You can find Jerri’s post on her blog here.
