STAMPIN' UP! SPRUCED UP SANTA EXPRESS CHRISTMAS CARD

While I had the supplies out to make my first Christmas card of the year, shared for last night's Heart of Christmas blog hop, I created a second card.

The dies in the Spruced Up bundle are super-versatile.  I love that when cutting out the trees, you get two die cuts in one.  The tree dies are designed to cut around the co-ordinating stamped image, as well as giving an outline die-cut.  I've used one solid, and two outlines, on my card:

Here's a closer look at the die-cut trees, and the two designs of Santa Express DSP I used on my card.  I had a few presents left over from the stamping I did for last night's card, so popped them at the base of my stamped tree.

The sentiment, stamped in Mint Macaron ink on Basic White card, was cut out using a Labels Aglow Die (which you will be seeing a LOT on my cards!).  I love the sparkle of the Iridescent Rhinestones on this paper:
