Christmas in April

Here are the cards I finished (early, for once!) for my monthly card challenge. Six more Christmas cards ready when I need them in December!

Today's post is brief, due to preparations for the Moovers and Shakers weekend. I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a stampingly fabulous weekend - I know I will!

Another Swap Card

Swaps seem to be a major part of my life lately.  Here is another card made for a swap (Stampdiculous club members, cover your eyes!).  This stamp is from the Patterned Pines set and is the Hostess Level I set in the 2009 Holiday Mini Catalog. 

Stamped in VersaMark on Old Olive cardstock first, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Stamped again on white CS, and heat embossed with gold, then cut out and "popped" middle tree.  I like the combination of Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  Nice, non-traditional Christmas combination!
