Merry Christmas Tree with Swedish House Crafts

Hello, my friends! 

  Do you feel the excitement in the air? 
Christmas Day is coming very fast now, isn't it?  
It's such a beautiful time of year! 

I'm fitting in one final card for Swedish House Crafts!

I created a kraft card base, and then layered it with the beautiful  Maja Designs I Wish papers. 

I stamped and die-cut the tree from the kraft cardstock, and then did the same with the sentiment. 

They were both layered on more of the Maja papers. 

The tree was backed with a die-cut oval.

 

 Here's a closer look at the oval. 

I just had to add these adorable little birds to the tree. 

They were die-cut using a new Gummiapan die.

Aren't they sweet?

 Here's a closer look at the stamped sentiment too. 

Gummiapan stamps are always so crisp and clear!

Both the oval and the sentiment were added with foam tape to give some extra dimension. 

 Finally, I added a pretty red ribbon to the top of the card. 

I'd like to take this time to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! 

May you have a wonderful time of blessings with your family and friends! 

I'll see you all back here again in the new year! :o)

I'm Not Saying What It Is Or You Won't Come Look! :o)

Surprise!! It's a Christmas card! lol I have been seeing everybody post about how tired they are of seeing Christmas cards. Well, as this is only the third Christmas card I've made, it certainly isn't HERE that you've been seeing them all! I really wanted to participate in the Card Crafter's Circle second Challenge and that is to make a Christmas card. The funniest thing happened though. As I was posting this, their second challenge actually ended, and they started their third challenge. So after I got over my giggles...I think I lost a few hours, or was it perhaps a day! lol You can see their new challenge HERE. Fortunately the new challenge is "Anything Goes", so I'm just going to post my Christmas card! Too funny, right?!
Guess what? I won the Card Crafter's Circle very first challenge with my Birthday Christmas card. Isn't that fun? I won some great digital stamps that you'll be hearing about soon. So considering the feelings of all of you, I made a card that didn't look very seasonal. I used a wonderful digital image from my friend Pamela over at Free Vintage Digi Stamps , and a colour combination that I always love! You'll notice that the sentiment does include New Year's greetings as well, so there you go! A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to each one of you dear people! Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you? :o)

A Christmas Birthday Card! :o)

Happy Thursday, my friends! Well, guess what I discovered? I can actually color WHILE I listen to my music! Who knew I could do two things at once! :o) Originally I was going to paper piece it but that doesn't work with my music. If I bop instead of sway an extremity disappears, and that's just not good! lol I've had lots of fun working on this card. A nativity scene depicts what Christmas is all about for me...it is the birthday of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2: 10-11
