Winter Greenery

 Hello and welcome back! Here's another card for today:

This design was inspired by the challenges at Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches.

I created this as a birthday card but it could just as easily be a Christmas card if you change the sentiment. The pine branches were cut from the large die in Christmas Pinecones and the holly leaves were fussy cut. I stamped a couple of pine branches on the white card before embossing it with the Softly Falling embossing folder. There is a bit of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper at the bottom but it didn't photograph very well. It has a lovely shine to it in person.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Painted Christmas to Remember

 Hello and welcome back! I'm finally getting started on my Christmas cards so here's one for you today.

I used the challenges at Sunday Stamps and SUO Challenges for inspiration today.

Once again, this is a pretty simple card. I used one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders on the vellum die cut for a little added texture. This is one of my favorite techniques!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
