Day 4 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown is here which means that we are getting that much closer to release day. I have two more cards for today using both Peace, Love & Joy and Heart-2-Heart #8. Let's get started, shall we? :)
I pulled out the Half & Half stamp set and die collection for this first card. I stamped one of the sentiments from Half & Half on the bottom of the die image and then adhered my Heart-2-Heart #8 tree image above that. I also die cut a few flowers using some Hibiscus felt and the flower die from the Flipping Out die collection.
Up next is a Christmas card using Peace, Love & Joy. I started with a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock and just started stamping my words randomly using Ocean Tides, Hibiscus and Chartreuse. If there was any empty space between the words I filled them in with the little decorative image you see. For my tree I used the Christmas tree die with a piece of Simply Chartreuse felt and then added a few Hibiscus buttons and Vintage Cream ribbon. Lastly, I added my sentiment, from Holiday Button Bits, and a strip of glitter!
And that completes day four for me. Thanks again everyone for stopping by each and every day. I always love hearing from you all. Before you go be sure to stop by and visit these ladies...
Enjoy your day!

I LOVE that you used pastels on the Christmas card. Traditional - yet unusual. (How is that possible?!) LOL.

Melissa, can you please elaborate on the glitter strip you used on the "Sending Holiday Cheer" card? Is it ribbon (brand) or glitter added to double stick tape? your work is so clean and crisp, I love your style!
