Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! Yes, I know I'm a little early, lol, but I'm excited to share some beautiful new stamps and dies and stencils from Taylored Expressions! Taylor has perfects the stamp/stencil combo in my opinion. She has turned me into a huge stencil fan! Today TE is launching brand new product lines for Winter and Christmas and I'm excited that I got to preview and try some things early!! I love how today's card came out - with all the pretty retro pastel colors and pops of gold!

My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered gold glitter paper and then pretty pink paper for the top layer. I also used a classic vellum strip for my embossed sentiment. I love these colors together! Reminds me of the 60's.
This product suite has the big stamp of all the trees - which I heat embossed in gold... Then it has the matching stencils - which I used with Distress Oxide Inks and blender brushes... Finally it has the large matching Die - which I used to layer over the trees! I used foam tape strips to pop the pink part over the trees. The sentiment is from the Joyful Season Stamp Set (supplies are listed at the bottom of my post!)
I splattered white paint to look like snow all over my pretty trees....
I wrapped the vellum strip around everything before attaching it to my card base. Nice and polished looking!
I love making flat cards for mailing at the holidays! This would be easy to mail, but it still has a nice impact!
Are you ready to start Christmas crafting yet? I think I'm ready when I see all the pretty new things to craft with! But mentally I'm in Fall mode! LOL.
That's it for today's happy Christmas card! Thanks for stopping by! I will see you real soon! XO

Trendy Trees is my favorite and I love your color choices. kind of retro but beautiful. We had one of those aluminum xmas trees when I was a kid, she put pink ornaments on it. It was cool. Very nicely done dear friend and no I am not ready to make Xmas cards yet. Just got done with 22 Halloween cards (whew) Happy Wednesday

Wow! Whoever knew a pink and turquoise Christmas card (plus the gold foil) would steal the limelight away from the traditional green and red. Love your card.
