Festive Ornaments

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!
Some stores (no names) have had Christmas stuff up since August! I went in one local craft store and they had full on Christmas isles stocked before Labor Day! To me, that's just too early. But I'm a procrastinator deluxe. I used to hold out for December to shop, but the last few years I've done the Black Friday thing. It's mayhem for sure but at least I usually accomplish 90% of my list on one day. The only exception is Christmas cards. I love to see Christmas cards pretty much any time of year. So welcome to a sneak peek of some new Christmas images from DRS Designs! I won't tease you for weeks on end, these will be available tomorrow!

For my card, I kept it fairly simple. The background is an embossing folder and I added a little doodling around the edge w/ a gold gel pen. For the wonderful sentiment ornament, I colored the stamp w/ red and green markers before stamping it. I die cut it and the green layer w/ the same ornament die, then trimmed inside the embossed edge on the top one to make it smaller.

The hanging ornaments on the branches were stamped, colored w/ markers and cut out. I added a red bow w/ a button on top and the red and green layers. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
p.s. if you've already started your Christmas shopping or (**gasp**) finished it, please don't rub it in, lol!
