But Lynn has posted the March WMS Christmas Card Challenge over in the Waltzingmouse Forum - this month the challenge is to make 3 identical cards using kraft, white and red.
I pulled out the wonderful Festive Foliage stamp set to make my cards this month. I just love this pine bough with the pretty pine cones. Doesn't it look great embossed in white on the red??!! I'm trying to create pretty but CAS (clean and simple) designs this year - 1) so they are easy to duplicate and 2) so they don't cost extra postage when mailing!So I kept the layers to a minimum, didn't pop anything up on foam tape and just added twine rather than some thicker bling!
My Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Season's of Love-Tags set.
You can read all about the monthly Christmas Card Challenges here on the WMS blog and here in the WMS forum in the Playroom. New challenges are posted on the 10th of each month!Come join in the fun and get your Christmas cards done early this year while your at it!

Beautiful!! This card is a wonderful design - very festive and, yes, mailable! LOVE it! I don't know if I'll actually make cards this year (first year in about 10 years if I don't) but I'm sure I"ll be back to stamping by 2012. I'm saving this beautiful idea since I also have that fabulous WMS stamp set! Thank you!!!
Hugs!
