If it were Michelle Pfeiffer and baked chocolate brownies 24/7 I'd seriously consider marrying it. :)
Okay...that may be an extreme, but this is a very fun set, created by the talented (and adorable) Becky Oehlers for Papertrey Ink. Here's a link to her blog.
I wanted to do a traditional Christmas card and when I saw the included sentiment (which I hadn't seen before!) I knew it had to be a holly tree. :) I also decided to emboss the tree to give it some "pop".
What do you think about that snow? :) I was inspired to make it swirly so I used the D'vine Swirls embossing Cuttlebug folder. Here's a close-up:
I'm not sure if you can see it, but the left bank of snow is dimensionally placed over the right bank. :)
And a close-up of the adorable bird, debating if he wants to check out that snow:
And finally, a close-up of that sentiment. :)
I'm eager to use this tree for all types of occasions, not just Christmas! :) Very versatile.
Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

A very sweet card, Ted. The snow panels look great with the embossing folder too.
What a fun festive card Ted! I love the snow mounds! Genious!
Very cute, Ted. I love this set, and I love the way you used the impression folder with the snow! Great job!
This is GREAT! Love the snowy land...great idea! Your holly tree is so pretty!
Such a festive card, Ted! I love your embossed banks of snow and the way you decorated the tree to coordinate with the sentiment!
Such a beautiful card Ted!!!! I love the embossed snowy hills!!!! Fantastic!
The card is pretty! really love that tree and the embossing is just perfect!
This is such a fabulous card and one of the best examples I've seen using this set. I love your holly tree and really love how you made the snowy hills.
THis is so cute! I love how you made the snow. It's perfect!
Here's the words that just popped out when I zoomed in on your card," OOH, that's so cute!" Really, I said it out loud. It was those embossed, snowy hills that screamed out to me. They were perfect and something I had not thought to use. One of my very favorites of yours so far Ted!
This is really pretty! I didn't get this stamp set last month, but I ordered it with the Nov. release. I keep seeing so many wonderful cards made with it (like yours), just couldn't help myself!
Ted, great job! This is so pretty! I love your bling-blingy berries with your holly.......and the snow??? Who would have thought of the swirls??? Oh, yeah, you did!!! So creative! I just love this. I think you've found your Christmas card to send this year! ;-)
Love love LOVE this Ted! Did you cut apart the holly stamp to do the berries and leaves in different colors? I was thinking of doing that.... but a little bit afraid to! lol
What a great idea for the snow, Ted! I would totally like to "borrow" that idea! Love your card ... great job.
The Stickles as the berries is a great touch; and I love the embossed snow and the one that is raised.
Beautiful card! I love the embossed hills! Great job! TFS!
Love the embossed snowy hills. The stamp and sentiment are very sweet. This made a very cute Christmas card. Best, Curt
LOVE this card Ted. I didn't get Merry Little Christmas, but can see that this Tree has year-round potential. Love the embossed snow too, and one can just imagine what that little bird is thinking!
