Ho Ho Ho . . . how I loved using this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO373) to create this tall and skinny card. The overall size is 6 3/4″ x 3 3/4″.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

My square of All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper measures 2 1/2″. Doesn’t that pattern look like snow? The Lost Lagoon Cardstock behind measures 2 3/4″ square (a 1/4″ larger).
I used my Paper Snips and Whisper White Card Stock to add curves for the “snow” background.
The Pear Pizzazz “tree” pattern measures 2″ x 4 5/8″ with the Lost Lagoon mat behind at 1/4″ larger (2 1/4″ x 4 7/8″).

The house was stamped with a stamp from Holiday Home and cropped with the coordinating Homemade Holiday Framelits Dies. Buy them together as a bundle HERE and save 15%.
ON SALE STARTING TODAY! I used the Big Shot Magnetic Platform (now 40% off) to keep my framelit die in place over the stamped image. A quick trip through my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine equals a perfectly cropped image.
The tree (also an image from the Holiday Home stamp set) was snipped and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
ON SALE STARTING TODAY! The Stampin’ Up! 2″ Circle Punch (now 50% off) was used to crop the sentiment. I love how sweetly it tucks in.

Sparkle! The ultimate WOW! factor comes from adding just a touch of holiday sparkle in the form of Dazzling Details to the tree and wreath on the house.
