Merry Monday & Freshly Made Sketches

I have a simple little Christmas card that came together pretty quickly...  I've used this week's Freshly Made Sketch and the Merry Monday prompt of using a tree & some bling on your card:

I am a post behind in my quest to do a card a day for November, so even though I had this half assembled yesterday, I didn't get it posted until now, so stay tuned for something else later today.

Patterned papers are Mistletoe; Cardstock is Colonial White; Ink is Chocolate; Stamp set is Evergreen - all CTMH; MFT snowflake die, Martha Stewart snowflake punch.

This was SOOO much harder than I expected it to be!  Red & White - how hard can that be??  When I dug through my paper stash, and found that most of my holiday stuff was red/white&green... or distressed red & cream... I became quite determined to do a fairly pristine red & white card :o)  So I went with some Jingle patterned papers, taught myself how to make a folded medallion, and pulled out the sewing machine.  Even though I quite like my card, it's not Christmassy enough for me...  I may glitter it up a bit.  Here's our Play Date Cafe inspiration:

Patterned papers are Jingle; Cardstock is White Daisy & Tulip; Stamp sets are Evergreen & Just for the Holidays; - all CTMH.
