This was done for the January Dirty Dozen Christmas card challenge (you can find the details to play along here) and I had started at the top and made one for the oldest listed thing and this is not it lol... that one is crooked and I tore it apart a few times trying to straighten it... so, this was done as a more CAS (for me) type one and it fits March 2012 and I liked it enough to make 3 more very similar to it from the scraps... so, all in all I did get 7 Christmas cards done today and 6 are keepers. the rest of the cards are on the blog seen here. tfl.

You torn one up? I am glad that you were able to salvage and create a few more. Stacy this is beautiful! I do like the holly die and wonderful CAS design I agree! Whohoo.. you are already hot out the gates. ;-)

Well this one is certainly a winner - and making 6 cards is awesome! This is really lovely - I love the corrugated paper you used for the holly leaves! Happy new year Stacy!

Stacy, I love your style! The die cut in corrugated cardboard/cardstock is wonderful! I had to check your blog and I vote for post all of them! They are no where near all the same. How great that you made 6 cards already!

What strikes me about this image is the look of soft corduroy you achieved on your holly leaf. The corrugation is done so well. The small stripes on the designer paper, along with the color palette, really present a fabric look to this beautiful card.

I really like the soft greens on this card and holly is one of my favorite Christmas images. As a florist I don't however like to make Christmas arrangements with holly because it pokes the hands too much and the berries always fall off.
