Lovely as a tree Christmas card by Stampin Up and me

 

Hi dear Stampers. 

Today I though I’d pop in with a quick Christmas Card featuring a bit of an elegant take on a traditional Christmas scene - the Christmas tree.

 

 The other day I walked into the Pottery Barn store here in Calgary and in my humble opinion.. their store was SOOO beautifully decorated with everything Christmassy - under the sun.. I loved it! If only I had the money.. I would transfer this store into our home :) There were 3 huge Christmas trees with 3 different themes. Just a beautiful sight for the eyes. I tell you, I could just sit on one of these comfy couches there and read a book, have a cappuccino and relax.. It smelled great in there, the music was so peaceful.. But he! I didn't do that just yet, but it sure all inspired me for this card.

 

These are all Stampin Up products I used on my card.

Some products I used are now sadly retired and some are still available through my online Stampin Up  store.

If you don't have any of these pearls at home to ad to your cards. I would highly recommend you getting some. Please click HERE, to visit my online store.

For $6.50 you will get 150 beautifully crafted pearls.

 

 

 

 

Jewels are just as magical in paper crafting as in fashion. Add a pearl here, a rhinestone there, and your projects take a subtle step up. With our pearl basic jewels, it’s easy to add a touch of class to your projects in an instant.

• Small, self-adhesive pearls

• 150 pearls per package; 50 each of 3 sizes (2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm)

• Each package also includes three 2-5/8" strips of connected pearls perfect for borders

 

 

 

And did you know that for the next 8 days you will be able to order a set of 150 Rhinestones / jewels for only $4.55, instead of the $6.50 they usually are.

They are on sale now at the Online Extravaganza Sale of Stampin Up.

What do you think of my own little jewels.

 

 

 

I am so excited about these photo's of our 3 kiddo's.

We so love them.

 

 

 

 

 

(this photo is for my dear friend Ellie. :) I tried to explain to her how I love the 'fake' flowers I got on sale at the Pottery Barn last week and how they just make me smile.

Anyhoo.. a picture says more than a thousands words, right.

 

 

 

I always love stopping over at the CASU-AL FRIDAYS.

This week their Challenge # 79 is all about Winter Blues!

Well, Calgary is also all about winter these past few weeks.

Snow is everywhere and cold that it was today. Brrrr.

So here is my take on their challenge :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trees, glorious trees! With a variety of trees to choose from, the Lovely As a Tree set offers so many options. Stamp a solitary tree or stamp an image multiple times to create your own forest.

 

 

 

I used one of the images of my Lovely as a Tree Stampin Up stamp set.

For $33.95 you will get this gorgeous set of 6 wooden stamps.

Well, that's all for now dear you.

Have a beautiful evening and as always I would love to hear from you!

Inky hugs, Pauline
