Try Stampin' on Tuesday

 There is a sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday

that I have wanted to make a card with and today

is that day. Even better the optional theme is

to use Plaid/Checks/Gingham - right up my alley

Check it out Here

Because I have used tartan paper from Boofle

(this was a gift from my bff some time ago

all the way from England)

it is a Christmas card.

The beautiful collage sheet makes for a

lovely background. I was very careful to add

my embossed angle so as to show off that

tartan to it's advantage.

A simple heat embossed poinsettia

with pearls were added after I die cut my gold leaves

from Tim's Holiday Greens.

Sentiment is die cut from Elizabeth Craft.

Heading over with this card for my second entry at

Sweet Stampin' - Christmas in September

Thanks for dropping in and appreciate

your kind comments.

It's Merry & Bright

 Time for our New Challenge over at

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge

I have used the same lovely dp that was

in my card for August Here

but this time I embossed it with an old 

Cuttlebug Christmas  Folder

I got out my big Cuttlebug snowflake die

and cut with white card stock adding melted

Stampendous Chunky White Embossing Enamel.

Sentiment is fron STAMPlorations

and the big & is heat embossed with

Ranger Red Cinnabar.

(I know you saw one similar recently but I just love that set)

I found some Christmas washi tape and

adhered it behind my snowflake which has

a lovely sparklet added to the centre.

Finished with a backing of red cardstock

onto white card base.

Hope you like what you see and head over 

to see what my Team mates created

and add your to Our Gallery.
