Under the Tree DSP with Festival of Trees

I have another Christmas card to share with you today.

There is so much you can do with the Festival of Trees set!  I paired it today with a framed embossing folder.  This folder is retired but there is another similar one in the catalog (pg 227) called Fun Frames.  The DSP on this card is Under the Tree DSP which is a heavier weight paper.  I originally bought this DSP to make boxes with the Gift Box Punch Board but I love the country look of the paper on this card.  I tied some red and green yarn around the card stock.  It is retired but you can still order the green and the white Sweater Trim in the Clearance Section.

Unfortunately, Stampin' Up gave us some bad news today.  They are experiencing significant delays at their west coast ports due to a breakdown in negotiations with union dock workers.  These delays impact items coming from China and include the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Die (which I am waiting on), the Curvy Keepsake Box Die (I have ordered that for a customer) and the Tree Punch.  How dare they strike when we need our stuff for Christmas card making????  Hopefully, negotiations will be worked out very soon!
