Hello and thank you so much for visiting me! I have a Christmas card today and it is the first one I have made this year. The time has gone by so quickly I can hardly believe its December next month.
I used a clear stamp set called O Christmas Tree by Creative Expressions. I bought it in an online sale very cheaply recently and I love it! It cried out for snippets of left over patterned paper and fussy cutting. I stamped the trees and pots in Nocturne Versafine Clair on leftover pieces of patterned paper - the starry paper is Lily of the Valley - I treasure my pads of their paper and keep every snippet as they only do digital paper now. The pots I am not sure which paper pad the snippets are from. The tree stumps are stamped on snippets of white card and stamped with Distress Oxide - I think I used Frayed Burlap. When they were all stamped, I fussy cut them out and glued them onto a white panel then used my Misti to stamp the stars and sentiment in the correct places, I used Versafine Clair Glamorous. Everything is from the same stamp set. Then I got my quickie glue pen and glitter and added oodles of sparkle to the whole card - well it is a Christmas card! The panel was then added to a card base. I was going to make a coloured card base but changed my mind and went with white.

I never think to stamp on patterned paper and then I see a clever card like this and it reminds me!! Love the CAS design and the paper you used couldn't be more festive. And the sparkly, glittery snow along the bottom is brilliant. I so feel you with regards to time flying this year. 2020 may have sucked but its still whizzed by with all its horribleness. I'm so very happy you shared this card with us at TIME OUT!
