May Christmas Card Challenge

As usual I was down to the last minute in completing my cards for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge! With all the continual releases of new toys and techniques in the stamping world, do you ever feel overwhelmed and just want to get back to basics? I am thinking I must be at that point because my last card was a CAS (clean and simple) and the one I chose for this challenge is as well. When I first started stamping I would meet up with several ladies once a month to share ideas and to stamp. One of these ladies was Deb Golden. I was always amazed at how she could come up with ideas quickly and her cards always had a certain pizazz. I pulled out one of her sample cards from my stash and decided to case it for my Christmas cards this month. The stamp set is Holiday Hello from SU. I stamped the snowman with a set of trees on each side of him in Glorious Green on a white panel. The panel was then embossed with the CB Swiss Dot EF. I then stamped two more sets of trees and cut them out. They are popped up on each side of the first set of trees and offset down onto the green panel for some depth. A touch of quickie glue and dazzling diamonds finishes the card. Easy peasy!! I made five of these for my monthly quota. I now have 25 Christmas cards completed!

Enjoy!
