Jolly Holiday Series #7

Good morning all!  I love, love, LOVE this card and this stamp set.  Patterned Pines has to be my all time favourite Christmas stamp set, it was a hostess only set which makes it more rare.  I don't think I will ever part with this one.  Today's card is a bit more finicky than some of the others I have been sharing, I stamped the trees in two colours (the trees come from a one piece stamp), so I had to stamp in Cherry Cobbler, clean the stamp and then stamp again in Pear Pizazz.  Next, I cut around each tree and mounted them on a background that was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots folder and Big Shot.  Oh I guess I tied the Cherry Cobbler twine around the one tree stump before adhering it down.  I also added a button from the regals collection and a mat which was layered on a card front decorated with Jolly Holiday DSP and a cardstock strip, and done.  Here's a TIP for you: use glue dots to adhere buttons, they hold really well.

Well that's all for today's post.  Hopefully today I can get some order into my stampin' room.  So far the desk has been installed and the shelves were put up last night (yay!), now I just need to organize my disaster and get rid of one of the three tables in my room.  My son and I also have to finish the painstaking task of finishing his letter to Santa.  This will be our third attempt, it's a good thing he is cute.  Have a great day!  Come back tomorrow and see another card from this series, there's only 3 more posts left!  E
