Stitched Christmas Tree

A second post today to join in with a few challenges.  Please scroll down to see my earlier post.

I made a dozen of these cross stitch tags earlier in the year and have finally got round to making them into cards. 

I started with a kraft card blank and added a layer of white card, embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' e/f.  The tag is MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die and I used crochet cotton for the tree.  The sentiment is a gold peel off.  I added some red and gold twine at the top of the tag.

I reversed the colours at the top of the tag on half the cards.

Another Christmas card to share today.

The image is a pre-coloured digi stamp from the 'Snowman Digital Stamps' set from Beccy's Place and the sentiment is computer generated.   Orange and green card was used for matting and layering.  I used a Couture Creation 'Music of the Heart' e/f for the embossed panel down the side.  MFT 'Musical Notes' die cuts finished off my card.

Christmas is only a month away!!

It's November 25th - just a month left until Christmas Day!! 

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday at a Stampin' Up workshop.  We each made up to five cards and two Christmas decorations - I put on the finishing touches to mine at home yesterday evening.

The stamped images are from the Stampin' Up 'Snowman Season' set of stamps and the papers are from the 'Let it Snow' set.

Welcome to my new follower, Beccy of Beccy's Place.  If you haven't heard of Beccy's Place, you're in for a treat if you pop over to her blog.  Not only can you purchase fabulous digi stamps, there are also freebie digi stamps too.  If you are a fan of different folds like me, you will be spoilt for choice as her blog has a section with so many different folds to try, with clear tutorials.  

My card today uses one of the stamps from Beccy's set of 'Snowman Digital Stamps'.  The sentiment is from the same set.   I used the outline digi stamp and coloured it with Promarkers.  I covered the white part of the snowman with a clear glitter brush to add some sparkle, which shows up more IRL.  The background was embossed, although I don't know the brand as there is nothing marked on the e/f folder.  The poinsettia was die cut with the smallest die from a Spellbinders set of dies 'Layered Poinsettia' and I added tiny yellow circles, which were waste from another die cut.  A strip of festive ribbon finished off my card.
