Happy Sunday morning! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I have a fun Christmas card to share with you made totally with punches. I recently got a multi image Christmas punch made by Marvy that has a tree, snowman, candy cane, dove and a star. I used the tree and snowman on this project. The falling snowflakes are from the Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page Snowflake set. I think they are so cute.
I punched the snowflake border and used Nestabilities square dies t create the double matted frame. I cut two layers of snowy ground using my deckle scissors and adhered to the card base. I put mounting tape on the back of the frame and placed it on the card base. I attached the the crimped Christmas tree and the cute snowman and then the falling snowflakes. There is a tiny bit of green foliage and red berries on the hat but you can’t see it well in the photo. The carrot nose was hand cut and the black coal eyes and buttons were made with 1/18” and 1/16” circle punches. Here’s a couple other views.
This was a fairly easy and fast project and would be easy to mass produce for Christmas cards. Sadly, I get too bored to mass produce anything.
Paper: Blue, White, Green, Black
Accessories: Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch Around The Page and Pine Branch (hat trim) Punches, Marvy Multi Image Christmas Punch, 1.8 and 1/16" circle punches, Crimper, Glossy Accents, Dimensionals, Deckle Scissors, Satin, Glue Dots
Thanks for stopping by.

I am guilty of reading your daily feeds and not always commenting- sorry- but am always inspired and awed by your work! Wow- I love this card!!! Thanks for sharing your creativity!!!
What a cute card and neat punch-where did you find your punch? Thanks.
Really liked the pine cone tutorial-you have a neat way of doing a tutorial so it easy to understand! tfs
Great card, Kitty!! I love all the details you put into your artwork. I’ve seen that Marvy punch and didn’t think I’d like it, but you certainly have shown me what you can do with it through different eyes! I’ve been trying to look at all of my punches with more creative eyes lately and it really is fun! Thanks for all the inspiration you share!!!
Another beautiful creation Kitty! I need to make a file on my computer where I just store pics of your cards for inspiration 🙂
Another cutie Kitty! So adorable. Glad we don’t have to worry about those flakes here in Fl.
Blessings…Leanne
Your work is a real treat. I am always amazed at your extraordinary talent.
Thank you for sharing. Jo Ann
Super cute card! I enjoy using my die cuts and punches to create cards, plus. This card of yours is outstanding! I think I have that around the page punch but I’ve never used it. After seeing your card … soon, soon. 🙂
Kitty, I get into soooo much trouble looking at your cards!!! Every time I see another card, I have to buy the punches to make it. I just ordered the MS Aspen Snowflake Set.
Thank you for your beautiful creations!!!
Darling scene, love the way you used all the punches!
Just bought this punch set. Can’t wait to use it. When I got to Michaels they had another snowflake round the page punch as well as this one. Was kinda a hard decision but having seen your cards, went with this one. Love the crinkly trees too.
