Merry Christmas!! It's Xmas in July! Christmas Tree Card

My goal for Christmas cards this year is to make them flat! This is super hard for me since I like to add lots of ribbon and layers. Last year I needed 2 stamps for every card I mailed out! So this year, I am trying hard to make them flat, but still have my style! I resisted and did not use any pop dots on this, but I was still able to add a few layers and texture using an embossing folder.





Christmas Tree from DoodleCharms Cricut Cartridge
Paper from Recollections All Seasons Pack
Flourish from Sizzix Flourish
Liquid Pearls Ruby Red, Ivy Green
Merry Christmas from Docerela Creations 
Tim Holtz Embossing Folder Holiday Words
Distress ink Walnut Stain
Glitter Roll Pen

  12. Great card, Carri! I agree, for Xmas cards, it's just too hard to mail them with popped up embellishments.
