Holiday Cards Blog Hop

It's a Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Yes it's time to get busy making those Holiday Cards and we are here to help with tons of great ideas from a wonderful group of talented Makers with Close To My Heart.

I made this cute card and love how it turned out. I love using non-traditional colors for my Holiday Cards. Here you see Mulberry used as a background color. I used the Thin Cut from the Floral Snowflake stamp set to cut the shape on the front. Oh... first I embossed that top piece with a snowflake folder. For this look be sure to place the die off the edge of the cardstock. 

Next I simple stamped the little tree, colored the branches and glued it inside the snowflake. Then I added some dots of Stickles for ornaments. Finally, I added some snowflake sequins. By the way.... our new Pick-up Tool is a must have item! It makes placing sequins SO easy!

Because the sequins are so nice and flat I could also add some on the inside of the card around the sentiment.
