Hello and thank you so much for visiting! It's Saturday, that means we have a new theme for you at Allsorts challenge and this week Wendy chose the theme of "Christmas Gifts". This is a great opportunity to create or finish those handmade gifts, there is a lot of wonderful inspiration from the rest of the team on the challenge blog. 

I took the easier way and made a card featuring Christmas gifts. I actually wanted to make a set of coasters, but with the Thanksgiving holiday and hubby and kids both at home for all/most part of the week I did not attempt to start that project.

I made a CAS card, stamped and heat embossed the Penny Black image Dashing Through The Snow on Winsor & Newton watercolor paper, then colored with Distress Inks to match the strip of pattern paper from my stash. 

I embellished with sparkly silver trim from the Target dollar spot (it's from a few years ago) and die cut snowflakes. The exact die set was a prize I won from Dare 2 B Artzy, but it appears to be retired. I'm sure most of you have snowflake dies or punches, if not, there are several options available HERE. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Holly Jolly .

Below is a close up. As you can see I used a Christmas words stamp randomly on the background. This large background stamp is Penny Black's Christmas Story.
