Last year we fully intended to use the Tree Trimmings stamp set for ACACCE (see prior posts, I’m lazy).  As often happens, we fell in love with another design and Tree Trimmings lost out.  This year we moved it forward because Crystal was inspired with all sorts of shimmery goodness:

• Tree Trimmings and Many Merry Messages stamp sets
• Concord Crush, Brushed Silver and Shimmery White card stock
• Bashful Blue, Concord Crush and Pale Plum Classic ink pads
• Concord Crush Stitched-Poly ribbon

A couple of stamp sets from last year’s catalog suddenly look a lot different when you put them together with a brand new color like Concord Crush!  And if you haven’t checked out that new ribbon yet, don’t be afraid that it’s poly.  It is very soft to the touch and easy to work with, and it has great body.  It’s perfect for a big feature like this.

Now that I look at it, this card should have had a couple of rhinestones.  Stay tuned – you may see it again!
