Totally scraplifted Christmas Card

I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted.  I haven't forgotten my hobby...I long for it all the time, but life just gets in the way sometimes!

I really wanted to test adding a pin it button to my blog so I was looking for something I could post, when I remember this beauty of a card that I made for Christmas last year.  I cannot take credit for the design of this beautiful Christmas card, only for making it myself.  This creation is from one of the uber talented ladies that design for Papertrey Ink.  The stamps used are all from the Nativity Silhouettes stamp set.  I used Art Philosophy for the notched edge layered cuts.  Enjoy, and if you like it Pin it!!

I actually made this card with a different flower and then I went to the CKC (Creating Keepsakes Convention) in Charlotte and was able to purchase the Art Philosophy Cartridge bundle.  I was so excited about getting the cartridge that I whipped it out the next day and cut these flowers just for fun and then decided to rip off the flowers I had on the card and replace them with these.  I <3 <3 <3 this cartridge!!  I am not even a flower person, but I just ADORE these flowers.  It is now making me want the Flower Shoppe cart (of course Cricut.com is out of stock right now L).  I also love the Elegant Edges cart;  this was my first opportunity to use it as well.  I hope you like it, but more importantly I hope my parents like it!!
