Welcome to another Monday Montage blog hop! There are ten of us who love to share what we create, and all you have to do to follow along is click on the links at the bottom of each post.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, there is no denying that Christmas is quickly approaching. I just need to embrace it and dive right in, so I decided to make a Christmas card for today.
I pulled out my Peaceful Pines set and coordinating framelits because I have so much fun decorating these cute trees. I went with a traditional colors scheme of red and green, more specifically — Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I also threw in some touches of gold because I have been a little obsessed with gold accents lately.
I started with a Crumb Cake card base and layered on a sheet of the Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. Then I took a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped some little stars and dots from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set with gold ink. I added some gold thread and sequins and a fun Snowflake Element and Metal Rimmed Pearl.
I stamped the trees with Versamark ink and used clear and white Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock, and then cut them out with the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies. The sentiment was cut with a Christmas Greetings Thinlit die from Red Glimmer Paper, and the “Christmas” is a stamp from the Holly Jolly Greetings set, which I embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.
This would not be a card I would want to mass produce, but it’s perfect to send to a special someone.

When creating this card, I decided to play along with Sandy’s current challenge at The Paper Players. I haven’t done that in a while, and they always have great challenges.
I went with the “Patterned Paper, Sparkle or Shine, and Tree” column. Or I could say I went with the “Snowflake, Sparkle or Shine, and Punch or Die-Cut” diagonal. Or how about the “White, Embossing, and Punch or Die-Cut” column. Just call me indecisive!
Enjoy your Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
