Merry Merry Christmas

We have been having unusually high temps for the past month. Time to break out the Christmas stamps to lower the temp, in the craft room at least! I try and create Christmas cards all year long, so come December, I have a ready made stash. Close To My Heart just released the White Pines Collection, which is the perfect starting point for your Christmas crafts! The product line features papers, coordinating stickers and four stamp sets! Purchase your items in a bundle and save 20%! Here is a look at one of the available bundles-

I created my card with the Merry, Merry stamp set. My wreath was inked up in Avocado ink. I then applied the berries and pinecones with Versamark ink and embossed in gold. The banner was stamped in Candy Apple red ink and fussy cut. The banner was applied with 3-D foam tape for additional dimension. I kept the card on the simple side with only a few layers for easy of mailing.
