Merry Christmas (October Stamp of the Month)

This October Stamp of the Month - Holiday Magis is such a great set!  I will have loads of examples to show you this month, so I hope they inspire you to think about your Christmas cards.  It's always nice to get a jump on them!

I received this card in the mail from my dear friend and upline Karen.  You'll want to visit her blog as she is just so talented! 

What a pretty card!  She has captured the trend in this card by adding the black.  I am so glad that she embossed the cranberry and black cardstock to give me an example of another way to use this set.  Thank you so much Karen for sending me this card!!
