Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #35

Wow!  Another week has come and gone and they just seem to keep getting busier and busier.  I'm so glad I'm making a Christmas card a week so I can stay on top of that holiday project.  This week's Christmas Card Challenge is 'anything goes.'  For this one, I pulled out one of my favorite retired Stampin' Up!® stamp sets, Bells & Boughs, and did a little bit of paper piecing.  I stamped the first image on Whisper White using Mossy Meadow ink.  Then, I stamped the same image on Strawberry Slush card stock and cut around the poinsettias.  Once cut I glued them to the image on the white card stock, added some embellishments (I love that Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon) and this is the finished card.

One of the things I did differently, is stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card.  Usually, I simply hand write  a note but this year, I'm changing things up a bit.  Instead of writing a mini book in each card, I'm adding a sentiment along with a one sentence personal note.
