So continuing my everything Christmas card show-case........I have another Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today.........

My card base is Crumb Cake with a 4"x5-1/4" Crumb Cake panel......

I stamped my Festival of Trees with Mossy Meadow ink and used Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details to fill in the ornaments.

I also added a Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon piece with a All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments to the front of my card.

I also used the On Point Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on my Crumb cake panel.

How gorgeous is this card!

And then stamped out one Dazzling Detail tree, one tree with the All is Calm Specialty DSP and one tree was stamped onto Soft Sky cardstock.  Each tree was punched out with the coordinating Tree Punch.

Festival of Trees Card #12

Happy Turkey Day My Blogger Friends!

It's Count-down time.....
And I have 10 more days in Wisconsin......
Here's some pictures of my busy Pre-Turkey Day fun yesterday.......

Brooke arrived at my hotel at 7:30 yesterday morning and we worked on her class-mates treats for Christmas.

We then went over to my oldest daughters house and enjoyed lunch with Jared......

Hailey, Brooke and Steven.  We also made the cheesecake for Thanksgiving Day.......and the girls helped me make some pretty cute place-settings for our Thanksgiving Table.  I'll share all those fun pictures tomorrow.

As I continue my everything Christmas card show-case........I have another Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with this first card.......

How quick and easy is this card.

I punched out several Tree punched images with the help of the new Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stacks.

I stamped my sentiment onto my Whisper White panel........

And then used the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing folder to add some fun texture to my Whisper White panel.

Each of the punched trees I cut off the truck......and left the truck on only one tree and positioned that to the center of my card.  I used Dimensional Adhesive on the back of each punched out tree.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you more holiday cards ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
