CAS Merry Christmas

Day 3 of NEW Releases from Impression Obsession! 
Welcome to the third day of our CHA Summer DT Blog Hop to preview our Fall/Winter stamps.  We are celebrating right along with those attending CHA in IL this week.  We will be awarding $25 Gift Certificates daily this week for those of you who play along with the hop each day, picking random comments from the blog posts.  The new stamps will soon be in the on-line store to make it even more fun. Check out the Impression Obsession Blog for all the deets! 
Check out what everyone is sharing using the links below....

Super SIMPLE today! I pulled out the heat gun for a little embossing action on this one. Super simple design, this is my style if I am mass producing Holiday cards. I used the new Tapestry Banner on the left side of the card and I also gold embossed the Merry Christmas Sentiment. 
I used Spellbinder's Circles to cut out the sentiment and for an additional circle layer. I left the second circle in the die and used the inside edge of the die as a guide to add piercing around the edge. A little ribbon detailing and a few pearls to embellish.  Finished card size is an A2.
