CASEing the Catty Merry Christmas to All Bundle - #CTC208

It's been oh so long since I have shared a card on my blog, I have been creating since returning from three weeks in the United States of America (including the Stampin' Up! Onstage Live in Orlando, Florida) but have just not had any spare time to participate in the blog hops.

Today the CASEing the Catty Crew are featuring the Bundles from the Holiday Catalogue and I am featuring the Merry Christmas to All Bundle which includes the Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set and Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies.

You maybe starting here so welcome or you could have come from Julia Quinn.

I was inspired by the card featured to the left to create my card, as I have used the template for my inspiration.

I have spent my weekend writing in my 100+ Christmas Cards and worked out that I needed a few more so I decided to use some of the beautiful All is Bright Designer Series Paper as my background instead of the texture of the embossing folder.  I then went for a combination of Whisper White, Real Red, Garden Green and some Basic Black.  I was very happy with the design so I will be creating a few more in the design with some different sentiments in the centrepiece.
