Dare I say the C word?

Last Wednesday one of the ladies asked if she could make Christmas cards, (which she did)

but I thought I had better get a few more done myself.  I had resolved to do at least 2 a month, so now I need to do at least 4 a month to get back on schedule - so here's the first for this month - I'll see how many I can get done.

Crumb Cake DSP is used for the base card - a thin strip of one of the new DSP stacks,

Silver and Gold Glimmer Paper and Mossy Meadow card stock was used 

with the Merry Minis punch pack for the trees, baubles and stars.

A Naturals Designer button is threaded with  Gold bakers twine

tied in a bow to finish it off.

This is a revamp of one of my up-line's cards Julie's  from a couple of years ago

So thanks for the inspiration Julie!  Appreciated!

I had forgotten that I had this stamp set and matching punch, so felt guilty that I had hardly used it.

This card measures 10 cm square, so you can see how tiny these little stamped 

Christmas tree are - they are approx 15mm high!!

I do think that they are cute.

The trees are stamped in Always Artichoke and Night of Navy- 

these are from the Merry Minis stamp set and are cut out with the matching punch.

The star punch is from the same set of punches and is c punched with Silver Glimmer Paper.

the little pot is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and is from the Pennant Parade stamp set.

Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

The inspiration for this card came from one that I received from an ex-work colleague

 - Liz L - who used to come to my Wednesday class.

I have not done much with the Merry Minis stamp set and punches,

so this was just what I needed!

The colour combo is Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze and Lucky Limeade

For the background I have stamped snowflakes from the Snowflake Soiree stamp set in Whisper White.

I used a strip of paper from the Festival of Prints DSP paper stack.

The sentiments are from Petite Pairs

I used a Designer Naturals button, and tied a Cherry Cobbler

Bakers Twine Bow through it to finish this off.
