Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas & Card Front Builder

Hello and welcome to another Christmas card post.  Today's feature is a simple but stunning layout using Carol's of Christmas and the coordinating dies.


A Crafty Cat:  Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas

On an embossed Cherry Cobbler base card, the feature piece of Very Vanilla, is stamped in Soft Suede using "Music Sheet".  Over the top of that, the greeting  "Carols of Christmas" is stamped in Real Red...  The mat was then cut using the frame die from the "Card front builder" die set...

The trees were cut out of Pear Pizzaz and Tranquil Tide, sponged in Old Olive for contrast and depth.

But it looks amazing if you keep it simple - no sponging and no embossing but a coordinating ribbon...
