I will be showcasing a different Christmas card each day of December from the 1st through the 25th. Today's card has very little stamping on it.  I used Sizzix dies to cut out a large scallop circle and leaves.  I cased this card from a Stampin' Up catalog.  I followed the layout of the card in the catalog, but substituted with products that I owned.  Turned out pretty cute, I think.
