Peaceful Moments, Fitting Florets, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Today's card was found on Pinterest. I liked the layout and the colors so I thought I'd give it a try with the materials that I have.  You can see the original card here.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Evening Evergreen card stock. Once cut it measured 4-1/4" x 11". Score it at 5-1/2" and then cut it to 8" long. Save the piece you cut off.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece and a 4" x 2-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue. I taped the larger piece to the inside of the card and the smaller piece was textured using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder and glued to the top part of the card.

A 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Fitting Florets" 12" x 12" package was cut to fit on the Evening Evergreen piece that was cut off from the front of the card.  I taped the DSP to the Evening Evergreen piece. 

Next I stamped the words from the "Peaceful Moments" set using Balmy Blue ink. Then I die cut it with the 3rd smallest stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set. Then an Evening Evergreen circle was cut from the Layering Circle die set. I used the third smallest scalloped circle die. I taped the two circles together.  When I die cut the words, I didn't center them, I left some space at the bottom area for the crystal rhinestones.

Dimensionals were added to the top of the front panel piece and about an inch or so down. I flipped the piece over, centered it and then I could see where the Dimensionals would be going. 

Then the word piece was set in place using Dimensionals and the card was done. I was thinking about adding a 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Basic White to the inside to write on. I don't like the idea of writing on the Balmy Blue card stock. I don't know why but it just doesn't seem right, like the words might not show up very nice. 

I do like how the card turned out using the materials I had and I really like this layout.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Birthday card,

Peaceful Moments, Wildflower Path, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

WOW, we have now stepped into the New Year. I hope 2023 will be a great year for all of you. I have plans of creating some great posts to share with you.  You can sign up for email notices by looking on the right sidebar to either sign up or follow! I welcome you all.

So for today's card I saw one on Pinterest that sparked my interest and I thought I'd give it a try. I made a few minor changes. You can see the original card here. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. My card opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Old Olive card stock for the layer. Then I cut a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Regals" 6" x 6"  stack. I rarely use these stacks yet I feel I need to purchase them! So I was thrilled to see that this card used a piece of the DSP from that stack.

Next I cut a 2-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and I stamped the stem from the "Wildflower Path" set using Old Olive ink. Then I took the other long stem and stamped off once on that image and then onto the focal piece twice on the right and I repeated that for the left side.

The flowers were stamped using Melon Mambo ink and then the highlight part of the flower (which doesn't show up on my card, probably because my ink pad was too juicy) was stamped using the second step stamp. 

The little yellow flowers were added using the smallest flower group image from the set and Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped directly onto the focal piece and then stamped two more times. I repeated this too. It's a pretty look with light and dark flowers.

The next Melon Mambo layer was cut at 2-3/8" x 4-3/8" and the Old Olive layer was cut at 2-5/8" x 5-5/8". I taped the focal piece to the Melon Mambo layer. Then I tied some linen thread round it twice and tied a bow. My thread was leftover from an old Paper Pumpkin kit.

The words are from the "Peaceful Moments" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. Then I die cut them using the third smallest circle die (1-5/8") in the "Layering Circles" die set. I also die cut the next larger (1-7/8") using the Old Olive layer for the focal piece. I could have cut it from the larger one but I had already cut a circle from it for a previous card and I put the piece back in my Old Olive folder. The 1-7/8" circle fit nicely, I made sure I centered it and I had no issues.

I glued the Melon Mambo layer to the Old Olive layer and then I taped that piece in place on the front of the card. I lined it up so it was about 1/4" from the top and left side of the DSP. 

I taped the two circles together and set them in place on the lower part of the card. Before I set them in place I did cut 6 small squares of Basic White card stock and I glued them together in a set of three. The word piece would sag on the left side without them. They went on top of two Dimensionals on the right and then a dot of glue was added to hold it all in place. The circles laid evenly across the card. And that was it.

This was a fun card to make and simple too. I do like the multi-colored stamping. This card could be used for a number of occasions.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's floral card,

Wildflower Path, Peaceful Moments, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

First of all, can you believe it's New Years Eve? The year seemed to fly by but yet it seems like Christmas eve (only 7 days ago) seems like it was longer than that.  I'm not sure why. I think I need to be more boring in 2023 so my days seem long and not fly by!  Do you think that would work?  LOL

So, I still had my "Peaceful Moments" set out but I thought I should look at my other sets sitting on the shelf collecting dust because I had been busy with the fall and Christmas stamp sets I got in the last mini catalog. I have a number of them to play with before I order some new stuff. Plus the Sale-a-Bration sets. UGH!  Those poor ignored sets will just be sitting there until they retire. LOL But for now I'll play with what I can until my order arrives. I'm making a quick, easy and simple card because I have a few things I want to get done before I settle in for the night waiting for the ball to drop. It's just some snacks and watching "Fawlty Towers" this year.

And here's how I made today's card. The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Polished Pink card stock for the layer.

Then I cut a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock for the focal piece.

I stamped the stem of the flower from the "Wildflower Path" set using Old Olive ink. I actually used Granny Apple Green but I stamped over it using Old Olive. Being able to stamp over it you need to use your Stamparatus or Misti. And if you don't have either you can take one of your thinner stamp cases and make your own. 

Next I set up the Stamparatus to stamp the larger flowers. I stamped them using Polished Pink ink. And then there's another stamp to make the darker part of the flower, again using Polished Pink ink.

The words are from the "Peaceful Moments" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. The layers were taped together and then taped to the card base and the card was done.

This was a fun, quick and easy card to make.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's final card for 2022!

Peaceful Moments, Framed Florets, Happiness Abounds, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

I noticed my stash of sympathy cards was a bit low so I thought I'd make one for today's post. This is a pretty simple, quick and easy card to make. It's kind of on the line of yesterday's card, with the same measurements for the side strip.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. 

Then I cut a 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Hues of Happiness 12" x 12" package. I chose the flowers with the dark background because I thought it would stand out better with the lighter colors I was working with. Next I cut a 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the layer behind the DSP and the last layer is a piece of Pool Party card stock that was cut at 2" x 5-1/4". I taped these layers together and glued them to the piece of embossed Basic White card stock. The edge of the layers is about 1/4" from the edge of the textured piece.

The words are from the "Peaceful Moments" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut them using the framed oval from the "Framed Florets" bundle. I also die cut the same oval piece using Pool Party card stock.

I fussy cut the flower and leaves and I was now ready to assemble the card.

I set the word piece in place using glue. Then I glued in place the white oval frame and on top of that I glued the Pool Party oval frame so all I was left with was a Pool Party solid oval. I'll save that for some other project (maybe).  

The flower was set in place using Dimensionals. A couple of dots of glue were added to the back of the leaves and they were slipped under the flower.

The whole piece was then glued to the card base and the card was done.

It's a very quick, simple and easy card to make and I do like this layout.  Now let's hope I don't need to use this card in the new year!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Sympathy card,

Hand-Penned Petals, Fitting Florets, Get Well Card, Stampin' Up!

Today's card came from Pinterest. There's several options there and this is one I chose because I was in a pinkish mood!  The pin shows you how to get a lot of pieces from one 12" x 12" sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I did have this flower cut from a sheet so I thought I'd use it. I still had to fussy cut around it but it didn't take long because there wasn't a lot of tough edges. You can see where this card came from by clicking here. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. 

The DSP was cut at 5-1/2" x 1-1/2". The Basic White layer behind it was cut at 5-1/2" x 1-3/4" and the Blushing Bride layer was cut at 5-1/2" x 2".  I taped those three layers together and then taped them to the center on the front of the card.

The square was cut next. I used Basic White card stock and cut it at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".  And the Blushing Bride layer behind it was cut at 3" x 3". 

After fussy cutting the flower from the "Fitting Florets" 12" x 12" DSP package. I added Dimensionals behind it. I set it on top of the Basic White square to see where the words would go.

The words are from the "Hand-Penned Petals" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.  Before stamping them, I masked of the word "friend" under the "feel better".  

I taped the Basic White square to the Blushing Bride square and set it in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I used small Dimensionals on the upper and lower part of the square, I didn't want them to touch the horizontal layers.

The flowers were added and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make. I really like how the DSP just makes the perfect focal piece.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's get well card,

Grassy Grove, Wildflower Path, Masculine Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

The day after Christmas is my hubby's birthday. I forgot to share with you the card I made for him. It's a quick and easy card, which is what I needed during the holidays!

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Starry Sky card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock and die cut the forest from the "Grassy Grove" bundle. Before I cut it I added the larger deer to the center and cut both at the same time. That piece from the center is just big enough for the deer. No wasted card stock there!

Two pieces of Basic White card stock were cut at 4" x 5-1/4". One is for the inside and the other is for the background. I taped the one in place on the inside. And the background one was colored in using my Blending Brush and Starry Sky ink over the whole piece. Then I scrubbed in some Evening Evergreen ink from the middle down.  Now there's some blotchy spots on my background. I was trying to speed up the coloring and I pushed down too hard on my brush and it left some really dark spots.  Most of the big ones were on top under the trees so you can't see them but there's some in the middle. I think they kind of look like far off trees or dark shrubs.  Either way it still looks good. I don't think you can really ruin a background like this. 

I took the forest trees piece and added glue. Then I set it over the background piece. I made sure I didn't have glue all the way to the edge because my Basic White background piece is smaller and that would have made a mess. Once I got the background and forest piece glued together, I set it on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

Then the deer was glued in place.

The words are from the "Wildflower Path" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock using Evening Evergreen ink. The piece was trimmed close to the words. It measured 1-1/2" x 2-3/8".  I scrubbed on some Starry Night ink that was still on my brush, I needed to tone down the vanilla because it was too bright. I set the words in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make and hubby thought it was very nice.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop by and see today's masculine birthday card,

Awash in Beauty, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Today's card was a fun and quick card to make. I was planning on making a different card but I turned the card stock to the side and next thing I know I was creating my own card!  LOL  So here's how I made it:

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued it on the front of the card base.

Then I stamped the words on a piece of Basic White card stock. I set the lacy looking oval die over the area I wanted to stamp so I knew where the words would go because I needed them up higher in the oval so I could add the flowers. I stamped the words using Evening Evergreen ink. Then I die cut them using the lacy looking oval. Once die cut I glued the outer part of the oval, the lacy frame part onto the front of the card, trying to center it as much as I could by eyeing it. Then I glued the word piece in place.

Next I die cut the textured oval using Polished Pink card stock. I added Dimensionals on the back and set it in place on top of the lacy oval.

The flower is from the "Awash in Beauty" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I fussy cut the flower and the leaves. I set the flower in place on the oval with glue on the part where it touches the oval and Dimensionals on the upper part of the flower. Then the leaves were tucked in by added a little bit of glue to their backs and slipped under the flower.

Four crystal rhinestones were added to the large lacy oval and the card was done.

This is a very quick and easy card to make. I do like how it turned out.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda

Edited on 12-28-22 I mistakenly stated the flower was from "Fitting Florets" when it was actually from "Awash in Beauty?" I apologize for any confusion.

Framed Florets, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

When I ordered the "Framed Florets" set/bundle there was also the "Framed & Festive" set that came with it or was promoted with it. It was filled with Christmas wording. I was glad that this bundle has other words and flowers with it because I REALLY like the oval die cut frames. SO I plan to make cards using these ovals and work in some of my other sets and Designer Series Papers (DSP). I believe this set is a buy early sneak peak from the upcoming January mini catalog. I found this card on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Succulent card stock for the layer. Before I taped this piece to the front of the card I die cut the leaves and "sprigs" from the center.

Next I took a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White card stock and I textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued that on top of the soft Succulent piece.

Next I die cut both oval frames from the set. I saved the center of the largest one for the wording. Had I been smart I would have stamped the wording first and then die cut it but I die cut first and then I had to set up the wording and try to get it straight. I glued the larger oval frame down first and then the center with the words went next an then the single oval frame went on top of the first frame. The original card shows the top oval set in place using Dimensionals. I forgot to do that.  It still looks nice and it's only noticeable if you compare them. 

The larger "sprig" type leaves were added using glue. Then the three smaller ones were added. 

One small flower was glued in place and the other two were set in place using Dimensionals.

A pearl was added to the center of each flower and the card was done.

I thought it was a pretty card. Subtle and elegant looking.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Snowman Magic, Penguin Place, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Merry Christmas. I usually show the Christmas card I sent out in December but I didn't make them all the same this year. I used some I posted here and some I had left over from last year.  And today I made my last Christmas card for the year. I chose a simple one because I don't have much time to play today!

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Very Vanilla card sock. My card opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I took a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lights Aglow" 6" x 6" stack and cut it to 5" x 2". Then I took a piece of Soft Succulent card stock and cut a layer measuring 5-1/4" x 2-1/4" and I taped the DSP to the layer and I taped those two pieces to the front of the card about 1/4" from the top, left and bottom.

The "Lights Aglow" package has some fun pieces in it. One was the circle of snowflakes. I cut it to measure 3" x 3".  I thought about putting a greeting inside but decided I wanted to play with the "Snowman Magic" set one last time.  Though I probably could play with that one until January 3rd when it retires, it's a winter set, not so much Christmas.  We'll see!!

I die cut two snowmen, one for the front and one for the back. I die cut the face and saved the nose. I took my Basic Black marker and colored where the eyes and mouth would be on the solid snowman. Then I colored the nose using my Pumpkin Pie marker. The arms were die cut and colored using the Bronze Blends pen. I glued the arms to the solid snowman and then glued the other snowman on top. I added the nose.

The had and scarf were die cut. I used Basic Black for the hat and Daffodil Delight for the scarf. I also cut a very thin strip of Daffodil Delight for the band on the hat. I glued the band in place and then glued the hat to the snowman's head. I glued the scarf in place.

I set the square piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. Then I added the snowman using Dimensionals as well. 

The words are from the "Penguin Place" set and were stamped using Soft Succulent ink.

I die cut 6 snowflakes and glued them in place on the front of the card. A crystal rhinestone was added to the center of each one and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and kind of sad that I'm done making Christmas cards for the year.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I appreciate you stopping in to see what I've made each day,
Wanda

Merriest Frames, Framed & Festive, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

It's Christmas Eve.  WOW did that ever come fast. This whole month has flown by. I have a Christmas card to show you today and one more tomorrow and them I will be playing with my other sets until I order the new stuff!  I always love getting new stuff!!

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card. I prefer glue because I know it will hold the piece better than tape will. Tape will only stick on the areas that are raised on the back. Glue will hold better in those areas. 

I die cut two ovals from the "Merriest Frames" die set using Basic White card stock. I stamped the words in the oval from the larger oval. I used Pool Party ink and the words from the "Framed & Festive" set.

The framed oval was glued to the textured piece and the word oval was glued to the center.  Then I took the other oval frame I die cut and added Dimensionals behind it. I set it in place on top of the first larger oval.

Poinsettia petals and leaves were die cut using Basic White card stock. I glued the two poinsettia flower parts together. Then the center of the poinsettia was added. This piece was glued onto the oval and the die cut leaves were slipped under. I had added a lot of glue so I knew slipping the leaves under would hold. 

I had a red embellishment and I added it to the center of the poinsettia. 

I thought the upper part of the poinsettia was sagging too much so I stacked two Dimensionals and I set it in place under the poinsettia.  And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I do like the white on white look.  Though I was thinking I should have used Real Red for the words instead of Pool Party but it is what it is. I like it so that's what counts!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Framed & Festive, Sweetest Christmas, Santa Express, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

I'm sure the majority of you have all of your Christmas cards done by now. I have but I'm still playing with the holiday stamp sets because I don't have anything new to play with yet. I will be placing my order on January 4th and then in the meantime I will still have to play with what I have.  How horrible is that?  LOL  

Today's card was fun and easy. I took a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock and cut off 2-1/4" on the front. I put that piece in my scrap tote because I won't be using it for this card.

Next I cut a 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Shaded Spruce card stock for the layer on the left side. And I added a 1-1/2" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Santa Express" 12" x 12" package. The two pieces were taped together and then taped to the front flap.

A 3" x 3" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the focal panel and a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Shaded Spruce was cut for the layer. Before taping them together  I stamped the words from the "Framed & Festive" set using Shaded Spruce ink. Actually I used Garden Green and then realized the card stock is Shaded Spruce.  Because I used my Stamparatus for my words I was able to just clean the stamp and ink it with Shaded Spruce and stamp over the Garden Green.  No one will ever know!! I love using the Stamparatus! 

The candy cane is from the "Sweetest Christmas" 12" x 12" DSP package and was die cut using a matching die. I do not have the DSP or the die, my candy cane was from a kit I had received from Terri. I had used the candy canes for other cards and I wanted to see if I could use them up. I have one left and two days before Christmas!!  I may just make another card like this and use it next year. So back to the card. I added Dimensionals behind the candy cane being careful not to get any where it could stick the card shut.

I set the stamped square piece in place using Dimensionals on the left side only. I didn't want to tape the card shut. 

Then the candy cane was added. On the upper left part of the candy cane I stacked two Dimensionals so the thickness would be the same as the candy cane on top of the focal square. That part of the candy cane seemed to need a bit more support and doubling the Dimensionals did the trick. 

And for the final touch, I tied a bow and affixed it to the candy cane and the card was done.

Now I'm off to bake some pies for Christmas eve!  SO much still to do!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Merriest Frames, Framed & Festive, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Since I still had the "Merriest Frames" dies sitting out (like I ever put anything back right away!!LOL) I thought I'd try and make wintry looking Christmas card and here's what I came up with.

The base of the card is folded half-sheet of Real Red card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Painted Christmas" 12" x 12" package.  I taped that to the front of the card.

Then I die cut the Basic White framed piece using the "Merriest Frames" die and then I textured it with the matching embossing folder. I taped that to the front of the card on top of the DSP. I only used tape in the rectangle area and not the foliage.

The words are from the "Framed & Festive" set and were stamped using Real Red ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut it with the die that was in the "Merriest Frames" set. I taped that in place.

Then I die cut a poinsettia from the dies in the "Merriest Frames" set. I glued them all together and I set the flower in place using a Dimensional. I added a  red embellishment to the center. I'm not sure where it's from but it's probably retired. You can always use the dark Real Red Blends Pen and color a small pearl. I was going to do that until I found this red embellishment and I figured I'd just use it because I need to use up some of the stuff sitting around here.  

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was added to the inside of the card and the card was done.

I am happy with the way it turned out, it was exactly what I had in mind when I started making it.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Framed & Festive, Merriest Frames, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Today's card was found on Pinterest (you can see the original here) and I thought I would make one since the "Merriest Frames" die set will be retiring. I have not played with it much and am sad about it because it's SO beautiful. The die cut has a folder that the piece fits in and textures it.  How cool is that?  Here's how I made the card:

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Cherry Cobbler card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and taped it to the inside.

Then I die cut the gold foil framed piece from the "Merriest Frames" die set. After I die cut it I set it up in the matching embossing folder textured it. Then I glued it to the front of the card base. 

I took a scrap piece of Cherry Cobbler and I stamped the words from the "Framed & Festive" set using Versa Mark. Then I sprinkled gold embossing powder over them and heat set it. I die cut it with the matching rectangle die in the set. I glued it to the center of the gold embossed frame. 

There's also poinsettia leaves and centers in that set. I die cut both large and small poinsettias in Cherry Cobbler and I cut two centers using the gold foil card stock. I glued the centers to the poinsettia flowers. Then I added a crystal rhinestone to the center of each. I colored the rhinestones using my dark Daffodil Delight Blends pen. I added Dimensionals to the back of the flowers and I set them in place on the front of the card. And the card was done.

This is a very quick and simple card and yet VERY elegant.

Sweetest Christmas, Very Best Occasions, Christmas Card, 2022 Stampin' Up!

Today's card is a super quick and easy one.  It's too bad I didn't think of this one earlier this month, I could have sent out all the same cards and saved lots of time too!  But it is what it is and today's card is simple. Read on to see how you can make it.

The base of the card is a fold half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Sweetest Christmas" 12" x 12" package and it was cut at 5-1/4" x 2".  You can get a lot of pieces from one sheet if you're planning on making a card using this layout. I taped the DSP to the left side of the card.

Then I cut a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Basic White for the word piece. The words are from the "Very Best Occasions" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. A 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Real Red card stock was cut for the layer. I taped the Basic White piece to the Real Red piece and added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card.

After looking at the card I thought it could use a little more color so I colored the leaves in using my Garden Green marker. And for the berries I used my dark Blends Pen on some tiny crystal rhinestones and set them in place where the berried were stamped on the image. And the card was done.  See, I told you it was quick and easy!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
