Well I am motoring along with my Christmas cards now, sticking with some pretty basic designs to be honest. The curse of being a card maker is that feeling that far too many people now expect a hand made card and I find it hard to let them down. Thank heavens for stamping and die cutting is all I can say!
This little batch is a 4 x 4 design. I die cut the bauble using an Impression Obsession die, stamped with a Chocolate Baroque clear tree stamp and then inked with several different Adirondach dye inks to add the glow effect. The pine branches are from an Artifact set from The Stamp Bug and the sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse.
Today is the day I have set aside for blitzing my big food cupboard ahead of the Christmas cooking. It's a big old fashioned cupboard, so if I am not back soon, maybe I am lost in Narnia!
Have a good weekend!

I hope you manage to negotiate the food cupboard safely without finding Narnia! These cards are a lovely idea - I always love pine branches & these are so effective the way they match the card base. I'm reminded of the Blue Spruces. The baubles are characteristically 'you' & a lovely expression of the sentiment.
