Countdown to Christmas - 11 months!

I can hardly believe that it has already been one month since Christmas! These are some of the 76 cards that I sent out to friends and family. I wonder if I can make100 cards by next Christmas!

If you would like to get started making Christmas cards - I am here to help! The cards above are made using products that are still available as "online exclusives" while supplies last. That means they are not featured in any current catalog - but they are still available to purchase in the online store. BUT you do not have to order them online. CONTACT ME - and I can add them to my next order.

Measurements to make this card:

Card Base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2; scored at 4-1/4

Designer Paper: 2-1/4 x 4-3/4

White card stock piece for the stamped image: 2-1/2 x 4

Black card stock mats: 2-1/2 x 5 and 2-3/4 x 4-1/4

To make this card, I stamped the truck on a scrap piece of white card stock, then punched it out using the Trucking Along Builder Punch. I stamped the tree on the piece of white cardstock, then attached the truck over the image using glue dots. You could just stamp the truck - but I liked the look of the added dimension with the truck being a punched out piece.

Other things to note:

I colored the truck, tree, and one mailbox using Stampin' Blends.
I used Black and White 1/4" gingham ribbon on these cards.
I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the layer with the truck.
I couldn't decide whether I liked everything straight - or whether I liked tilting the cards a bit.
