Oh if there were more hours in the week...sigh. I used Roxie's wonderful sketch with today's Way to Use it Challenge (Faux Letterpress) for one card. Stamped the sleigh from Flourishes Sleigh Ride in Memento Tuxedo Black and Versamark and heat embossed with glittered clear EP. Paper pieced the sleigh and added the presents. Inked the tartan plaid CBEF with Old Olive and ran a Flourishes white card through the BigShot. Mounted the strips of BG Eskimo Kisses, Cherry Cobbler and Bashful Blue and added the image panel. Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and punched with Scalloped Oval punch and added the MS branches. I use that punch a lot, so when I have a scrap of green, white or brown I just punch and store until I need them. PT - 11
Thanks Roxie and Michelle for the wonderful challenges and inspiration. Thank you all so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

Marie, this is wonderful. I really like the tattersall plaid EF used with the letterpress technique for the back panel for your lovely sleigh. I like how you repeated the 3 long rectangular DPs in your packages.

Can you believe I almost broke my MS branch punch??? Who can live w/out it and I heard you can only get it on e-bay and you pay a fortune for it. But, it does SO MUCH! Your card is delightful Marzi. Love the sleight image. Way 2 go! Careful with zee punch as if it breaks, I know Old Lady Benzi won't send you one even if she says she will!

In a One Horse Open Sleigh" ..well, you know the rest (put it to music). I love this image. I have a sleigh image but it doesn't stamp well....need to get this one from Flourishes. Your bg technique is so pretty, too. MM, you did a super job on this beautiful card.
