It’s snowing this morning but I am not going walking in this winter wonderland. It is -7 outside and the wind is blowing so I will start the fireplace and post another Christmas card. Today’s card is a Silver Bell Ornament.
The dies are from Penny Black and Creative Expressions purchased at Teaspoon of Fun.
. 
I used brushed silver cardstock and red velvet cardstock.
Die cut your bell out of the middle of your 1st layer and you won’t waste the paper, though I did two bells and ringers so I could adhere them back to back for an ornament. I used a red sharpie to add the date on the ringer.
The layer on top of the silver layer is a foiled piece of DSP (designer series paper) from my stash of mostly Stampin’ Up! paper. It’s rather pretty even without the bell.
I put a small strip of snail adhesive runner on the layer and then patted it several times with my fingers so the oil in my fingers would make the adhesive less sticky and the bell would be easy to release from the card.
