  Select Month March 2010 January 2010 December 2009 November 2009 October 2009 September 2009 August 2009 July 2009 June 2009 May 2009 April 2009 March 2009 February 2009 January 2009 December 2008 November 2008 October 2008 September 2008 August 2008

A popular theme lately is first to be able to make a beautiful card in less than 10 minutes, and then second is to create a holiday card using non-traditional Christmas colors. So I used Pretty in Pink, window sheets, and the beautiful Lovely as a Tree stamp set. Sorry about the smudges on the window sheet and the glare when taking the picture (I tried a few angles but this was the best one).

First, I stamped the two trees in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and embossed using Clear Embossing Powder and then the heat gun.  I did the same technique for the greeting "Merry Christmas" (Four the Holidays stamp set from the Holiday Mini). 

Then using a White Gel Pen I added highlights/snow to the tree branches.

Next, I adhered the window sheet (4 x 5-1/4) to the trees (card front panel) using SNAIL Adhesive (to hold the window sheet in place).

Lastly, I threaded a piece of Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon through a silver buckle from the Styled Silver Hodpodge Hardware kit and adhered to the back of the card front panel.  Then adhered the panel to the Chocolate Chip card using SNAIL Adhesive.

Other Suggestion

• Once I was finished with the card, I think if we used either White Craft Ink or the white snowflakes from the Icicles Rub-ons in the background as well, that would have added an extra holiday, snowy touch.

Happy Holidays!
