Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - MCT and Stampin' Up

I have a Christmas card to share today using a sentiment from My Creative Time and some stamps from Stampin' Up's October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I just started this kit this month but manage to get this stamp set off ebay, because I'm now a member I was able to picked up the Blissful Bouquet Refill Kit so I have the whole kit minus the ink spot.  I really love this poinsettia from the set, I think it makes a beautiful background, the tiny flowers and leaves are also from the set.  I stamped the sentiment from MCT Belly Band set onto vellum, I didn't want to totally cover up the pretty flowers.

My Creative Time 49th Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to My Creative Time's 49th Release Blog Hop!

What a fun release this has been, thank you all for your wonderful comments all week!

For my hop project I'm showcasing the

"Stitched Pop-Up Pieces" Dies

How fun are these, I used the bigger one twice for the snowpeople and the smaller one in the middle for the Christmas Tree.  I'm so happy to have these, unless I plan a popup card out in SSDE I won't make one, but these dies make it so easy.  Other sets I used to make this card are the Snowbuddies stamps and Winter Snowman Dies.  The sentiment is from the You're So Cool set and tree is from the Seasonal Greetings set.  The background was created using the snowflakes from It's A Magical Season set, embossed with white embossing powder and use some of the blues Distress Ink.  I added a couple of Winter Flakes Dies and sequins.

Here's a closer look, I also used the Stitched Belly Band Dies, love that set, it's a must have I feel.

For the front I used elements from the same sets I mentioned above, I had put the card together first and thought the front needed some snowflakes and messed up on some stamping too lightly and then I tried to fix, next time I'd add the snowflakes first.
