Here is a fairly quick card to make using a couple of Sneak Peek Spring Catalog items. I wanted to use the First Christmas stamp set, but wanted to do something different. I recently received my Preorder of Spring Catalog and Sale-a-bration items and decided I would use the NEW Oval Framelits to cut out the image. I decided to use the Layered Labels stamp set and the Apothecary Accents Framelit to go behind the image of Baby Jesus in the Manger. I cut out the star and used a NEW Large Rhinestone in the center. I even finally used the Mixed Medley Hostess stamp set I wanted so much.
