Christmas past

 In my stamp group our challenge this month was to use Black, White and Red on our cards and another option of using stencils.

I thought of this paper pack right away and then realized that it doesn't have white in it but Cream, but I went with it anyway.

On the card above I have used background paper from My mind's eye - O Christmas tree paper

• Simple stories - 25 days of Christmas paper and tags
• Offray ribbons
• Martha Stewart snowflake punch

Here is my card using a stencil

Hubby says this is way too busy, while making it I didn't think so but now I see it.  I added pearls to most of the snowflake centers. Die cut the sentiment 3 times.

• Echo Park - O perfect Christmas stencil - using Brilliance, moonlight white ink
• Tim Holtz - Christmas Ribbon dies
• Pearls

Hold on I have a couple more cards that I made from a tree we folded in our last zoom meeting that I forgot to share with the others.  I think they need a sentiment but still haven't gotten around to adding one yet.

One 4 inch circle makes 2 trees, I cut two circles so I had 4 trees so I made another with just one.

Here is a picture to show the dimension, I added a little foam tape under each fold so that it would stand out nicely.

I also die cut some small stars from glitter paper.

Sorry this was a long post. But I did manage to get my cards for the month of August done, so that feels good!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
