Wow, Thursday already – the days are passing by so quickly – but I’m getting ready to start sending out Christmas greeting cards to friends and family.
Here’s one I created using the “Pines & Poinsettias” stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalogue.
I used the color inspiration from The Paper Players and found that it works perfectly with the “Letters to Santa” designer series paper!
I kept it pretty simple, not too many layers to make mailing a little easier. I also tried my hand at pleating the designer paper and am quite happy with the way it turned out.
There was a little too much plain showing on the Always Artichoke mat, and a quick run through the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder fixed that! Add a couple of sprays of “Little Leaves” and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and we’ll call it good!
