Krafty Chicks Challenge #650: Christmas

Yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

Honestly, it feels weird creating a Christmas card for this week. Maybe because I'm hoping for Spring to arrive quickly. I know there's still 6 weeks of winter left but with our warmer than usual temps lately, how can I not hope for spring? Everything is melting already.

I created this card following 52 Christmas Card Throwdown's current sketch challenge. This challenge uses lots of circles so why not use the circles Picture This die? Makes light work of adding a few circles. Once that was decided, I looked through my retired Christmas stamp sets since I only have one set that is currently in the Annual  Catalogue. And voila! 

Supplies I used:

• Timeless Tidings stamp set: retired
• Greatest Journey stamp set: 160588
  
• Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
• Mossy Meadow card stock: 133676
• Real Red card stock: 102482
  
• Heart Warming Hugs DSP: retired
  
• Mossy Meadow ink pad: 147111
  
• Stampin Cut & Emboss machine: 149653
• Picture This dies: 155559
• Greatest Journey dies: 160593
  
• Stitched Banner dies: non-Stampin' Up!
• Gold thread ribbon: retired
• Brushed Metallic Dots: 156506
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS.
