A little birdie told me there are only 9 weeks 'til Christmas!!!

We want to see your "Male Cards"
and we are lucky enough to be sponsored by
I recently picked up a fun set of Jofy (for Paper Artsy) Christmas stamps and decided to have a go using the wreath and birds against a Word processed banner of my own making.  My sentiments are Papertrey Ink - I love these for Christmas - you get a die and a set of coordinating stamps to complete a phrase. The little tags and the wreath stamp on the top most tag are also PTI.  This card looks very simple but for some reason it took forever.  I used a Stampendous text stamp for the text on the birdies and some of the berries and paper pieced them.
I really like the black, red and Kraft colours for either a male card or perhaps just a trendy friend.

Do gather your Christmas stash together and get creative with us. There is lots of inspiration from my fellow CASSettes and I know they would very much like for you to visit with them and share some love.

I can see why it took a long time. There is a lot of work and imagination in this. Details make this card very very special!
