Hey,
Happy Monday.
I am back from the Margatecraftathon with JT, but this is a scheduled post, so you'll have to wait until Weds to hear all about it :)
As I start making my Christmas cards so early, the first batch usually has a few elaborate makes.
Today's card might not look elaborate, but trust me there was a fair amount of work involved!
Both the tree and Joyeux Noel dies are by Simon Says Stamp and I bought from Cheiron in her big destash.
Once I had die-cut the tree and the sentiment, I thought they would look nice on my fave mini kraft cards, but how to affix them, without a traumatic glue adventure?
I decided to go with mini staples. Cue much fiddling around trying to place the tree and the sentiment and hold them with one hand, whilst using the stapler..
Totally worth the effort, but I don't feel like there needs to be more than 2 of them!
I added some new fuzzy dots for a bit more interest.
Today I am going to Lunch with a friend and then hitting the pub for a big old reunion with my people.

Great idea to use staples to hold the die cuts in place. It looks so cool, but I can imagine how fiddly it was to do! Have a great week x
