My card is simple and relatively quick to reproduce. 

Card Recipe - I formed a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card from cardstock. I used Simon Says Stitched rectangles to create a layer of brown cardstock and the second layer of white cardstock. I used an embossing folder to add snowy texture to the white cardstock layer.

I then die cut the trees and added some white pigment ink and sprinkled with some snowy glitter. I heat embossed the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape.

I finished the card with a small red cardinal. The die cuts make this a quick and simple card that is easy to put together multiple cards at once.

Supplies: White and brown cardstock, Simon Says - Stitched rectangles, Penny Black – In the Winter, Impression Obsession – Cardinal, Hero Arts – Jolly Holiday Wishes, embossing folder and Stampendous – Crystal Snow.

If you just happened to stumble across my blog and this post be sure to head over to Lesley's blog and start at the beginning to hop along to a long list of wonderful inspiration created for the Simply Sweet Christmas Inspiration Hop.

Happy hopping ;),
