Hey there! Stampin' Up! really hit it out of the ballpark  with the Holiday Catalog!

A must have for me was the Merry Medley background. So many words on one stamp is not only a great value, but I looove the graphic look!

I chose to use Lovely As a Tree as my focal image:

I stamped the tree on the Crumb Cake layer with Always Artichoke ink, then stamped it again on scrap paper and cut it out to create a mask. I covered the stamped tree with the cut out mask before stamping over it with Merry Medley and White Craft ink.

For the greeting banner I stamped "Christmas Blessings" from Christmas Pines with Cherry Cobbler ink on a strip of Very Vanilla, then cut it out with the banner die in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets. The teeny-tiny holly is also from Christmas Pines. I hand-cut it out and mounted it with a snippet of a Stampin' Dimensional.

The inside greeting is also from Christmas Pines. I originally bought this set because it coordinated in a bundle with the Pretty Pines thinlets, but I think I will be using it a lot more for the sentiments!

You can now order your own Merry Medley and Christmas Pines stamps to create your own graphic Christmas card! Just go to my online store to shop: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
