I just love this pinecones and needles set from Hero Arts. It is so versatile. A bit ago I made a masculine card using it and really liked it. I made my card for several challenges listed on my blog.
I used the Out of the Box technique for the brown pinecone and used a couple punches to finish my card. I guess it is a little bit of a different look for a Christmas card but I rather like it.

The Benz is full force with these lovely holiday cards. I think you are taking over my spot. I'm not fairing too well in the holiday department ovah here. Can you have your people send me cards for the holidays to send out? Better yet, have them make them, address them and mail them!! Whew, what a relief! I LOVE the images you used, the dp and colors - I love cherry cobbler - and you used MY precious bow punch - you stole that idea from The Fruitflake. LOL!! This card is absolute brilliance and I more than RATHER like this card, I LOVE this card. If choices #1 and #2 don't work out, this is my choice #3 or is it 1 or is it 2. It's so hard to decide....

This is ultra lovely, Benzi!! I've admired those pine cone and needles images when you've used them before. They are amazing on this Christmas card! You did a super job glittering them up with "snow." And they look fabulous with that BG DP!!

Benzi I just love this layout of your card. It is unique and intriguing to look at. I could see where these stamps can be very versatile for backgrounds and focal points. This is just gorgeous.
