Happy Saturday, peeps! I have a Christmas card for you today, using the Fab Friday sketch and the Merry Monday prompt of "bells":
This is one of those cards that seemed more attractive in my head; once I started to make it, it didn't quite match up to the image in my brain, LOL! But I'd already started, so I pushed through:
My upper panel used a piece of sheet music I printed from an Olde Design Shop digital image; I "aged" it a little, trimmimg it to fit my Crumb Cake mat. I added diecuts of a gold bell (Lil'Inkers) and some greenery (Tim Holtz), and adhered them to the music:
The main portion of the card was stamped with a little cabin image from Altenew and the tree from Kaiser's Frosted Christmas Tree set...don't they go together nicely?
After sponging the edges, I mounted it on a piece of the new Merry Merlot....a nice maroon color....and finally, added a few of the little stars from the bell diecut around the greenery and a Cherry Cobbler baker's twine bow! Another card for the stash! Thanks for popping in today!
Miss Cookie Face:
Enjoy your day and be blessed! Come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players' challenge too!

What a great idea to use the music score on your card, LeAnne! I love it with the jingle bell and the subtle stamping on the bottom of the card is perfect!
Beautiful card LeAnne. I love the rustic scene at the bottom of your card. The sheet music is the perfect accent for the lovely bell and greenery. Thanks so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
Not sure if my comment went through....so again....I love this card...as you would know...since we love Vintage...love the bell...want one...Are they Peanut Butter cookies...tried to get one out of that tin no luck from here..Have a beautiful day...lots of rain here. Nicely done.
Oh, the bottom of your card is so nostalgic for me. This is a beautiful Christmas card. How many do you have in your stash for 2018 now? I've got to get busy making Christmas cards. It'll be here before we know it!

Wonderful Vintage Christmas card LeAnne love the subtle stamping and how you incorporated the bell with the sheet music. Thanks for playing at Merry Monday this week.
Just beautiful! I love your die cuts and the stamping is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, hope to see you again soon!
Congrats on your win, LeAnne. I had to come see how you did the kraft panel on your card. I have that Altenew stamp and never knew what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration. It gives a vintage feel to the aged music and wonderful swag of greens and bell.
I love the rustic feel of your card! That cabin looks so cozy and warm! Wonderful tie in with the sheet music and the die cut bell! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Wonderful card! Thank you for sharing the details.
