I really wanted to create a Christmas card front using nontraditional paper and color scheme. I happened to have this stamp set in the craft table area while I was creating other cards using the dsp from an unlikely paper pad. My card size is standard but the stamped images needed to be trimmed. Hence, the Anna Griffin die cut placements. In hindsight, I might have heat embossed the image to make it more prominent. I like to mix up my Christmas cards anyway, so while this fits the October theme, I have more to do from earlier themes! Diane

Love the stamping on designer paper and I'm especially fond of nontraditional Christmas cards! Love the colors and the way you did the image. The intertwined flourishes look wonderful! Beautiful cards and thanks for the reminder that I REALLY need to get moving on mine!
