Christmas card

I decided that I needed to use up some retired embellishments that I had from last year.  So I used the sketch at Try Stampin' on a Tuesday as the inspiration for the next few cards that I will post.






The products used in this card are:


*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Tempting turquoise card stock (102067)
*Gumball green card stock (126840)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Retired ribbon
*Retired wreath and holly embellishment
*Chocolate chip card stock (102128)
*Woodgrain emboss folder (127821)
*Tiny tags stamp set ('merry') (W118091 / C118592)


As a tip, to get the even banner tips, use your square punch!  It takes some getting used to in order to ensure it is centered, but once you get the hang of it, it's great!


Until next time!
