Here we are in the Dog Days of Summer and what better way to try and cool off than by making a Christmas Card??!! The August CAS Christmas Card challenge has just been posted and Susan our creative hostess this month has chosen The 12 Days of Christmas as her theme. You'll find her description of the challenge over at the Blog
(you don't have to have the EXACT images from the 12 Days!)
I just happened to have a partridge in a pear tree image from the retired set Scandi Doodle Christmas by Waltzingmouse. I simply embossed the image in gold and framed it using Halfsies Dies from The Greetery.
I also gold embossed the sentiment from O Holy Night by PTI on the inside.
So, if you'd like to cool off with the CAS Christmas Card team, our lovely August Guest Designer Meg, and get a jump on your Christmas cards, please stop by the CAS Christmas Card blog for some 12 Days of Christmas inspiration!

What a wonderful old stamp, Julia - perfect for the challenge. And so elegant, simply embossed in gold and then framed with the halfsies dies - they add lots of interest but keep the design CAS. Thanks for making such a great card for the challenge I'm hosting.

This is just as pure as freshly fallen snow and the nativity in the starlight, Julia. Understated and elegant all the way!! I hope you're keeping well! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful frame to showcase your Gold,Partridge in a Pear Tree. So pretty.
What an elegant and cute CAS Christmas card, Julia! The simple gold outline image heat-embossed against white looks awesome! The tone-on-tone die-cut pierced frame adds classy interest.
