Holy Night

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Christmas in July

Here is my card for your inspiration:
I've had this card (in pieces) sitting around on my desk for a while.  Well, in need of a quick Christmas card for this challenge, I decided to finally finish it up!  I used two different patterned papers and embossed them with a snowflake embossing folder.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and adhered it to a mat cut with a scalloped border die.  The ephemera is all from Not 2 Shabby and I added some gold thread to "hang" the ornaments with.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "
Dies: My Favorite Things "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle; Spellbinders scalloped border die
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug snowflake
Not 2 Shabby paper and ephemera
