Creating A Slimline Christmas Scene, Using the Concord and 9th Stamps and Dies (Merry Mantle) Card One Christmas Collection.

Good Morning, I'm back today with the first card from my mini Christmas collection. I never used to be, a card maker at Christmas kind of person, as the volume you have to create can seem daunting. But I then decided to make 10 special cards for family and close friends. This makes the whole process much more enjoyable as some of the stamps and dies are just darling to use.

So today we kick of the theme with this scene card , using the latest release from Concord and 9th.
