Vintage Christmas Tree - Rudolph Days

This is my card for the April Rudolph Days Challenge, I have used my Stamperia Winter Botanic collection.

Everything is from the Winter Botanic collection with the exception of the ticket sentiment which is from my stash, I don't have a clue where it came from! I have inked all the edges to keep with the vintage feel of the papers and fussy cut the holly, I cut the banners with my Die-namics Fishtail Flags dies - these must be some of the most used dies in my collection.

I would like to enter this card into the April Rudolph Days Challenge.

Winter Greetings

I have been playing with my Stamperia Winter Botanic collection again.  It's so nice to just play with my stash now that I have no Design Team commitments, having said that, I need to get on and make some cards for a magazine commission this week!

Everything is from the collection, I have inked the edges of everything and used my Die-namics Fishtail Flags die to create the banners.  I used an old tag die that I have had in my stash for ages to cut the sentiment out and added a little scrap of ribbon tied with a twine bow.

Traditional Christmas

I'm back to Christmas cards today.  I saw a card similar to this on Pinteret and decided to create my own version.

I used Kraft card stock and papers from the First Edition - A Christmas Story paper pad.  The star is a Tonic die and the banner is a Die-namics Fishtail Flags die.

The Poinsettia is a Sue Wilson die along with the Pine Bough and the Sentiment and Holly are Joanna Sheen dies.  I cut the sentiment several times and layered it up for dimension.
