Peaceful Pines

I’ve been working on some cards for a wonderful group of ladies that get together every month to do some crafting.  I had promised that we would do some Christmas cards and I’ve been working this weekend to get my cards designed for this get together and for a Christmas card class next month.

I was looking around and noticed that the CAS challenge on SCS is to do words only…no stamped images.  Well…I was thinking about doing a simple Christmas tree card for my Tuesday get together and I came up with this simple card!  Only the words are stamped…that rest are die cuts…AWESOME!

Here’s the details…

• Mossy Meadow – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
• Very Vanilla – 5 x 3 3/4, add to card front using dimensionals
• Very Vanilla – 4 3/4 x 3 1/2
• Home for Christmas dsp (mistletoe print) – 3/4 x 3 1/2, add to Very Vanilla panel
• Stamp greeting using Basic Black Archival ink, add panel to card front using dimensionals
• Cut medium tree framelit out of Gold Foil, and small tree framelit out of Gold Glimmer, layer and add using dimensionals.
• Cut stars from Mossy Meadow and add to top of each tree to finish off.

So…what a great little Christmas card!  And speaking of GREAT…you should see the WONDERFUL projects we have for our subscribers of the Create with Connie and Mary October Mini Session.  Here’s a sneak peek of our projects (and PSST…we opened TODAY)!…
