On the First Day of Christmas...

...my crafty hands made me, a light pole adorned with a wreath!

This is actually a re-make of a card I made for my Christmas Card Workshop.  I added a different wreath and changed the background to a dry embossed snowfall.  You can see the original card HERE.  http://mimimyselfandibykigz.blogspot.com/p/christmas-card-workshop.html

This wreath is not as large or skinny, and I really do like it more.  This stamped image is from the Avonlea Scrapbooking Workshop.  The shape can be cut out by using your Cricut machine and the Artiste cartridge.  Also, the change in background image makes it a much more easily mass produced card.  There is a new embossing folder that I need to get my hands on that will work even better, too.  Jayma Malme knows which one I am talking about!  ;)  This gorgeous card will be heading to my Etsy shop next year!  :)

This stamp set is included in the La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go and is only available for a limited time now...when they are gone, they are gone!  Contact me or go to my website to order! 

CHRISTmas Card Close Up

Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting up the Christmas Cards and tags that are available to make at my upcoming Workshop.  You can already see them by clicking on the Christmas Card Workshop Tab at the top of my blog.  I hope you are inspired to make some cards this year!

This is one of my favorites so far.  You probably hear me say that a lot though, lol!  I love the bicycle stamp so much from the Close to My Heart La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go.   The present stamp is from the Christmas Love My Acrylix Set.  I used my micro-tip scissors to carefully snip it from the sentiment.  Sometimes my lack of inhibition scares me.  ;)  I really have no qualms modifying my stamps.

Here is a closer look at that beautiful sentiment.  I used my Bow-easy for the darling little bow, of course!

Here are the other supplies I used in creating this wonderful Christmas card:

Pear and Partridge Paper Packet
Cranberry Grograin Ribbon
