Hi there! Thanks for coming by today. I've got a Christmas card to share, that I hadn't time to show before the actual holiday in 2014. Hey, I'm early for 2015!
This is definitely a clean and simple design, making good use of patterned paper, but I've jazzed it up by doing this:
Thanks SO much for dropping in today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This is definitely a clean and simple design, making good use of patterned paper, but I've jazzed it up by doing this:
- Add a strip of houndstooth patterned paper at the top
- Stamp and trim a branch to 'hang' an ornament from; add glitter glue to the branch
- Gold-emboss a sentiment
- Add thin gold cord to a punched, gold-embossed ornament (don't know the name of the stamp set this came from, as it was in a $1.00 Scrap Bag from my Stampin' Up! demonstrator)
Thanks SO much for dropping in today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful Christmas card Colleen!! That's such a pretty ornament!!
Such a lovely Christmas card with wonderful design! Love the pretty gold ornament!
So pretty! I love the sparkles on the branch :)
I love how this beautiful ornament shows against the dark background! Great layout!
Beautifully elegant!
Gorgeous, Colleen, and the houndstooth sent it right over the top. I LOVE it!
Green and gold is striking together
This is surely beautiful! I've always thought gold and green were so rich and elegant together. I can't remember the name of this set, but I've come close to buying it with the matching punch. Don't know if it's still available. Great design. You have quite a knack for keeping it simple but not sacrificing anything in the design.
