CHRISTMAS FRIENDS
OK, I’ll admit. This wasn’t even on my original list when the new Mini Catalog came out. But, since I’ve had a chance to play with it, I really think it is my favorite! Winterly Tree Tops has got to be a close second and the snowman snow globes in Snowy Wonder is my third. This is a card I designed for my Club this month!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Paper was added down the right side.
- The large circle in the Christmas Friends Dies was cut from Red Real cardstock and trimmed across the bottom, then added to the front.
- A 1/2 x 4 strip of Take a Bow DSP was added along the bottom of the circle.
- The moose (TOO cute!) was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The scarf and socks with Real Red, Gray Granite, and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. He was cut with the Christmas Friends die and added to the front.
- The hat (from the owl) was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Real Red Blends. It was hand-cut and added to the moose head.
- Two trees were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Garden Green cardstock and the trunk colored with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the die and added to the front.
- Happy Holidays was stamped with Garden Green Ink on 1/2 x 2-1/2 Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The word bubble was cut from Basic White cardstock and the notes from Basic Black cardstock using the Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I found some gold enamel stars and circles in my retired stash and added them to the top of the trees and circle.
