The House That Stamps Built: Use a border on your project

 Happy Wednesday!  This week  The House That Stamps Built is looking 
for cards with a border. 

My card:

 I am in the mode of starting of building up my Christmas card stash so I 
wanted to go with Christmas. I used a die cut as my border.  The center
is blended with Distress Oxide faded jeans, has white splatters and
dots form a gel pen for snow.  I added some die cut and punched
snowflakes and die cut trees and a Noel stamp.   

How are your Christmas cards coming or have you started? I am moving
 along on mine.

Join the fun and you might be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing
 for the  $25 Repeat Impression's  gift certificate. You don't have
 to use Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.  
Drawing is the first Wednesday every month.

    This card is beautiful. I love the navy and white, a very pretty combination. That Noel stamp is perfect with it, too.

    A really elegant Christmas card, but we are a stamping challenge at Stamping Sensations, you only refer to die cuts.

    This is gorgeous, Donna! Such a pretty, snowy night-time scene! Like you, I'm in full Christmas cardmaking mode! I normally make them all year long but did not do that this year, so it's go time for me!

    So pretty - when I saw your card - I'm thinking where is the border - well duh - wasn't hard to figure out. The ink blending is beautiful with the white snowflakes and the Noel works perfect. Great card for this challenge. Thank you for coming yesterday - I think everyone enjoyed the great friendship, lunch, snacks, and the time to create. Hate we were missing one but she sounds a bit better today.

    What a gorgeous Christmas card Donna! Love the way you've made your snow circle background and the die cut snowflakes are so peaceful looking! I've started my Christmas making, but it's going slowly! LOL!
