Catalogue countdown, day 3


Staying with the Christmas theme, Pennant Parade, one of our new stamp sets, is perfect for Christmas cards – because if you turn the stamps upside down, you get these lovely trees! There’s even a pot in the stamp set, as well as a star, although I’ve not used the star here.

The background is “debossed”, which means the dots go in instead of out. Whether that was by accident or design, I’ll leave you to decide! I made the ground using torn vellum... the trees didn’t look right without it, they were just floating.

  1. This is fab - been waiting to see what you came up with! I love the snowy ground for the trees, and the way you did the greeting. Plus the fact that you didn't even waste the tiny piece you trimmed off the end of the Modern Label! You make frugality an art!

  2. Another beauty! Love the torn snowbanks and the rhinestones on your sentiment. I'm guessing that was a happy accident :)

  4. The vellum snow is perfect for your trees and I love the way you used the trimmed off edge of the sentiment for an accent piece! Beautiful card!
