My First 2014 Christmas Card

I've made my first Christmas card for this year!  Unlike many cardmakers who make lots of different cards for Christmas, I'm afraid I design just two or three and mass produce them.  One or two friends who I know will keep them and who won't have recycled them by the end of December may get a 'one off', if I have time.  So this is my first design for this year.  I needed to do a bit a careful measuring as I didn't want the embossing to go under the 'Christmas' word, but it was fairly quick to make.
The die is a Memory Box one and I've used a Sizzix embossing folder, not sure about which one as I've had it for ages and there is no name on it.  The little punched tree is topped with a punched holographic star.  Apart from the base card, everything else was made with snippets, so by Christmas my snippet pile should be greatly reduced!

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

    Lovely card Liz, that MB die always looks good, and the embossed panel behind it is super too.

    Love the embossing folder with snowflakes. This is a pretty card and great to reproduce. I do the same thing. I make one card I really love and make it for everyone. If I love it I hope they will too.

    Wonderful card. I love how the merry is in red and the Christmas is white, very cool. And that embossing folder is great. The tree is super cute.

    I'm sorry I'm so late with this visit, this is great... I'm glad you've got your Christmas card design sorted for this year, something I've yet to do.
    Thanks so much
