CCMC Preview Week Day 3: All Is Calm Tree

Good morning, Friends! I am glad that we are half way through the week! Wednesdays are early release days for the elementary schools. So that means I get out two hours earlier than the other days! I need to come home and get some laundry going and do some stamping!! I think that my husband had a great birthday yesterday. We had to do some phone stuff yesterday with our cell phones and that can be stressful but I think we got it all accomplished! Then we had a great dinner and back home to relax a bit! 

Today's card features a new Christmas set from the Holiday mini catalog. I love this set because it is photopolymer and it has a matching punch! Woohoo! Makes for quick cards! And I think that this piece of paper from the All Is Calm dsp pack is my very favorite! I will probably use this piece all up before any of the others and there are a lot of beautiful pieces in that pack! Here are the details:

• Card base is Soft Sky
• Run a piece of Smoky Slate through the Big Shot using the On Point embossing folder
• Wrap a piece of the Lost Lagoon taffeta ribbon around the panel and then adhere to card base
• Stamp the greeting from Festival of Trees onto a piece of the All Is Calm dsp using Lost Lagoon ink and adhere to a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock
• Cut a hill from a piece of Whisper White and adhere to dsp panel using dimensionals then adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals
• Stamp the tree image from Festival of Trees using Pear Pizzazz ink onto a piece of Whisper White and punch out using the Tree punch then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Thread a piece of white baker's twine through a Nordic designer button and tie a bow then adhere to card
