The Snowman's Christmas Tree

      After making nearly 75 Christmas cards to donate to my local Seniors Center, I had scraps of small this and that lying all over my work table so I dug out all of my metal Christmas dies and started cutting up the scraps.  Before I knew it, I had another dozen cards and a plastic baggie full of cut but not yet used pieces.  :-D

     It seems that each card I put together became a favorite but I think this one best shows off what can be made from simple scraps of plain CS.  The snowman dies are from Cheery Lynn and the tree die is made by Dee's Distinctively.  I cut the tree twice from 2 different shades of green and when layered all together, it almost looks like there's snow on the tree.

     The sentiment was cut with Die-Versions dies.

Stealing Santa's Cookies

      In my opinion, House Mouse meeses can do no wrong but when it comes to these three cookies thieves, Santa may not agree with me!  lol  Colored with ProMarkers, cut with a QuicKutz die, and framed with glitter CS (also cut with a QuicKutz die.)  The tree is made using a Dee's Distinctively die.  The snow was add to the tree with a white gel pen.

'Tis the Season

     Today I'm sharing another of my cards with die cuts instead of a colored image and I rather like this one.  I'm disappointed in the photo because the glittery sparkle just doesn't show up but all of the white bits are cut from glittered CS.  IRL, it shines and sparkles incredibly!

     The snowman, candy cane, the smaller tree and the gift are all from Cheery Lynn dies.  The sentiment and Santa's sleigh/ reindeer are cut with dies from Die-Versions.  The large, layered tree is done with a die from Dee's Distinctively.  Everything is mounted onto a red card front and the white sleigh is mounted on dimensional dots.

     That's all I have for today.  Christmas is creeping closer and closer and all of my working ahead during September and October has really paid off.  My stash of Christmas cards is really close to the number I need and, since I haven't been able to do much crafting lately, that's a good thing!  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie
