OK...I really tried to put this set in my *retired* cabinet, but I just can't do it!!
I know that these are not traditional Christmas card colors by any means, but I find that this set lends itself to any color combo you can throw at it!!
I always loved the sentiment from this set, which I am not sure if you can see here. It says: Christmas is a time of cheer with wishes for a bright new year!! I just always found it was a tad too big to work on a card. So, using Nichole Heady's blog as an inspiration, I stamped the sentiment in Staz On onto a Shrinky Dink sheet, used my ticket corner punch on each corner, used my Crop-A-Dile for a hole in the top and then using my embossing tool, heated it until it melted!! How fun!! It took a bit of heating, cooling, heating, cooling, etc...to get it right (and flat...man this stuff curls!!) I then just hung it on the Wild Wasabi ribbon with white thread. Such a fun technique...can't wait to do it again...
Anyway, thanks so much, as always, for looking!!

Such a cute card and how clever to do the shrinky dink thingy. Love the sparkly on the snowman and your sketch is terrific.
