The main sentiment is from Tim Holtz/ Stampers Anonymous Simple Sayings set. Stickles have been added to the trees and snowflakes for embellishments.

Papers from Papermania's Victorian Christmas. The tree is the Spellbinders D-Lites Mini Holiday tree and the sentiment is from Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday script. Stickles have been added to the tree for decoration.
The background is embossed with a snowflake pattern from Dovecraft and edged with Evergreen Bough distress ink. I covered the join in the embossing with some paper from Papermania's Victorian Christmas set. The white rick rack ribbon is also from Papermania - Bellissima Christmas.
The trees were stamped onto the same paper using Evergreen Bough and the shape cut out from the same Sizzix Framelits set. The sentiment is from the same stamp/die set.
The snowflakes are from the Spellbinders 2012 Snowflake pendant set and are covered with shaved ice. Assorted pearls and sequins were used for embellishments.
I used a stencil from the latest edition of Crafts Beautiful for the background using Tea Dye distress ink. I then "frantaged" the background. The snowflakes are from Spellbinders 2012 Snowflake pendant set using craft card and gold mirror card. The centre of the larger snowflake is shaded with more Tea Dye ink. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday words script. Stickle glue was used to highlight the edges of the large snowflake, the word Christmas and in the centre of the gold snowflake.
As I begin to think of card making for this year, I took a look back at the cards I made for Christmas 2014:
I think I need to make a start soon...
This is a card I made for Mum using papers from an Inspiration magazine from Debbie Moore. The edges are from a Martha Stewart punch. The letters are die cuts but I don't know who makes the die, possibly Docrafts? (oops). The With Love stamp is from the Crafters Companion Clearly hand stamped collection. The tag is from Spellbinders and the banners were stamps from Stamp Addicts. Baker's twine and stickles added for embellishments.
