This is my sample for CC978. I am your hostess this week and I chose real red, white and blueberry bushel for my color trio. Dessert option this week is anything goes.
I am still making Christmas cards and I selected these colors so I could use this new to me mailbox die from Spellbinders.
Cut the images in the challenge colors and for my dessert option I chose to use green - old olive and mossy meadow.
My background paper is from the Stampin' Up "winter meadow" collection. I cut a snow bank in white glitter paper and stamped my sentiment to complete my card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Looking forward to seeing all your creations in the gallery.

As soon as I saw "mailbox" in your title, the light dawned, and I knew where I was going to see Blueberry Bushel! Mary, this card is so full of joy, with the letters to Santa, candy canes, peppermint lollipop and greenery. Very fun!

Mary - I LOVE this!!!! I thought about using this die set for Valentine's Day but wow - you really did the expected and made these perfect for Christmas! That soft DSP in the background with the sparkly snow is a great touch. Again all I can say is WOW!

What a positively darling mailbox! I would not have thought to pull out the Winter Meadow papers with this but now I can't imagine anything better for this ever so Christmasy card.

Super cute! You really delivered with the colors and this die set. Love the Santa mailbox bursting with letters & such and stamped with your lovely style. The background is perfect. Very nicely done! Thanks for the fun colors this week.
