Oh Christmas Tree

 

The new challenge at Crafty Ribbons is Pure Whiteness.  I combined that challenge theme with the Emboss it challenges at Simon Says and created this elegant white on white Christmas card.  I've had this Cuttlebug lace tree embossing folder for a couple of years now and couldn't get it to work right until today.  After a couple of tries, I figured out the trick to making it work.  I used a very light weight cardstock and cut the cardstock piece to fit just inside the embossing folder.  I added a sheer white ribbon bow at the bottom of the tree to finish off my pure white card.

Christmas in July

Dug out my box of Christmas stamps from the basement to start on some holiday cards.  I plan to do a few each month so I'm not so rushed in December to get them all done.  This fun little scene is a stamp called Naughty or Nice by Penny Black.  Colored with Copics.   Tag says "Some of my best friends are flakes".  Picked navy and turquiouse cardstock colors as I thought this would work better for the boys cards.
