Pines Three Ways Card ... And A Lucky Surprise Winner!!!

Before I share today's card, be sure you scroll down all the way to the end because I have a surprise winner for some Christmas goodies.  Now, for today's card.  I call this card my Pines 3 Ways card ... embossed and sponged, the pine tree shape, and the pines in the DSP.

Placing the top piece (with the cut out tree) on dimensionals gives a nice depth to the front of the card.

As always, I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope to all coordinate.

I admit that I don't use Garden Green as much as I could be, but I love it with this DSP and it makes a really pretty card with the Cherry Cobbler accents.

And now ... a surprise announcement of a lucky winner!  I decided to hold a drawing in December for a lucky someone to win some special Christmas goodies.  I placed the names of all my loyal customers into a jar, shook it up and sprinkled it out onto the floor.  I told Toby Joe to "choose one."  He did! 

Drum roll, please:

The lucky winner is Jessica Brunner!!!  Congrats, Jessica.  Let me know when you'd like to stop by and claim your prize.

OSW Tutorial Series, Part 5

For today's OSW card, I have another Christmas card for you.  This one uses DSP from one of our 6 X 6" Paper Stacks.  With a couple of simple cuts, you can really get a lot of cards from a Paper Stack. 

This is cut from our Merry Moments Paper Stack.  It is full of great DSP for Christmas.  However, many of the papers could be used after is Christmas is over, as well.
Tips:
Cut the 1/2" strip off the top of the sheet first.
Then cut the sheet in half.
Notice that I've used the 1/2" scrap for part of my card.  I just turned it over to the reverse side.

I also added a tiny sliver of Silver Glimmer Paper.  With strips this thin, you can get a ton of them cut from one sheet of Glimmer Paper.

I added a silver star at the top and then attached sequins and pearls over each of the dots on the Christmas tree stamped image.  The folded doily just adds a nice finishing touch.  Once again, this is a pretty card that's pretty quick to make and looks great for Christmas.
Tips:
Instead of the Christmas tree, you could easily add a non-Christmas image and have a great card design for other occasions.
Changing the image but not the paper will change the feel of the card completely.

I have yet another part to this series, so be sure to come back to see it.  Leave me a comment if you have questions or suggestions.
