22nd Advent Window - it's a wrap!

All the "children" are growing up fast, so the Tree envelopes this year have been made from the One Horse Sleigh 6"x6" DSP with winter scenes and a little glittery ribbon.

I seriously cheated with some of my smaller presents . . . 

. . . by using DSP and matching the ribbon and tag to co-ordinate ;-)

Each present wrapped, is another off the list ;-)

Nineteenth Advent Window - Woodland deer

 

A winter woodland scene today, using the fabulous DSP from the One Horse Sleigh Suite.

Having the adhesive backed snowflakes also, I wasn't really sure how to tie in copper snowflakes, but this neutral palate allows the copper foil cardstock to  match in with the snowflakes.

I used Staz On Saddle Brown for the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set on vellum to still see the DSP.

Here's hoping we all get time for a winter woodland walk, GenGen XxXxX 

18th Advent Window - Heart wreath

 I wanted this card to look like a heart wreath decoration,

 that you can peg on the Tree

Stamp Set: Christmas Classics

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Old Olive

Accessories: Classic Christmas and Joy of Noel dies, Black and Very Vanilla Large Check 1cm ribbon,

Red sequins and Peg left over from the Advent kit

I guess you could do a wreath edge for a Very Vanilla Heart shape for an actual decoration ;-)

Keep on Christmas Crafting,
