Stampin Up.... Happy Wonderful Christmas



Hi everyone!

I dug out all my Christmas dies and have really gotten into making Christmas cards...one after the other. I blame it on Stampin' Up's Merry Moments designer paper. Ever since I opened the pack I can't seem to stop making Christmas cards!

I used a panel of it here:


Underneath I adhered a pine needle border form Memory Box. I LOVE making poinsettias, so I made a large one for this card. The sentiment is also from Stampin' Ups Wondrous Wreath.

This is so elegant. I just love your designs. You have the knack of simple elegance. you pick a beautiful element then you don't over embellish it so the beauty of the focal element remains. I am going to try to take some lessons from you. Could I case a couple of your cards? I'd link back to you.
