Good morning friends. Combining two challenges (Festive Fridays and Merry Mondays) today in a quick post, as I'm having computer issues and not sure how long my screen will stay up...so no long dialog today! Festive Fridays showed an inspiration photo that makes you think gingerbread, and Merry Mondays is all about making a country themed card with stitching and buttons. Here's my take combining the two:
This is so not how this card started out, but after many revisions and a complete new start, I like this new, simple, and less fussy version much better! I used PTI's "Fancy Flakes" and "Holly Jolly" dies, Lil Inkers "Stitched Rectangle Mat Dies", and SU!'s "Be Very Merry" stamp to complete this card.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and don't forget to check out all the wonderful inspiration on both sites to get your own Christmas cards started...you'll be glad you did come December!

First thing I thought of was that this is a beautifully wrapped gift! It definitely is country, love your big snowflake! Great job on combining the two, don't you love it when that happens? I sure do!
That's a great combination of both swaps. I'm really liking what people are coming up with for the Merry Monday country charm stitched and buttoned challenge. That one has me reeling.

What a cheerful card. Great job. Love your giant snowflake....although I'm a little tired of all the mounds of snowflakes around here!!!!
Love the snowflake! Such a great card! I'm going to have to invest in Lil' Inkers stitched dies. Love it when one card works for 2 challenges.
