CHRISTMAS with the KRAFTY CHICKS


Today I'm back as a Guest Designer with the Krafty Chicks
This week it's all about CHRISTMAS.


That's easy for me. 
I LOVE making Christmas cards and have quite a collection of Christmas stamps, dies and papers.



I fell in love with this background plate die from Sizzix by Tim Holtz:


I LOVE the Scandinavian look.
 I actually love to INLAY all those tiny pieces...yes I do!! It's so fun. But for this card I just cut it out in some wood grained paper and backed it onto some red.

The cute Santa is from Spellbinders and the tiny holly from my days with Cheery Lynn. I added some google eyes for fun!



I hope you get out your Christmas dies and stamps and play along at the Crafty Chicks. Perfect for knocking off another Christmas card for your stash!

Have a great day,
Laurie
