Hello and welcome to the Roost.

This past Saturday I attended a craft gathering put on by the Women of Waconia. I attended with 8 friends and over the years of attending this event have gotten to know several other attendees.

Today, I’m sharing some of the Christmas cards that I got done at the event. I wanted to use the cute panels from the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper.

I sort of feel like I’m cheating when I use the DSP like this. Some of the pieces could be adhered to a card base and used as is!

For this card I die cut an archway using the Everyday Arches Dies. Then I embossed the layer with the Tree Rings 3D Embossing Folder. The Christmas Tree Panel was adhered to the card front and the archway was adhered over it. I did stamp the mouse, ornament, and greeting. Wink of Stella was added to the ornament after coloring with markers.

I wish there were a dozen of this panel!! My husband recently built me a whole wall of book shelves in our living room and this makes me think of my book shelf. The mouse, bow, and greeting are stamped.

Okay, I really cheated on this one! The greeting is the only thing that is stamped on this card. The bakers and the table were carefully fussy cut though, does that count? I also added the calendar which was fussy cut from another piece of the DSP. I wish my kitchen looked this neat while I was baking, hehehehe…

The only stamping on these last two cards is for the greeting. The mouse on the chair was fussy cut from another piece of the DSP. The greeting was trimmed around with a scissors.

I thought this little mouse with the branch was so cute! It was a challenge to fussy cut something so small but I really liked what he added to the card.

There were two sheets of these panels so the pack has two of each scene. Now I still have almost all of the other 10 sheets from the DSP pack to play with.

Hope you enjoyed these simple ideas. Thanks for stopping by at the Roost.
