Yes! I'm still at it--still making Christmas cards!! Here's another round easel card, but it's not quite a mini one. I found a round die cut that's bigger than my largest Nesties. It's from Marianne Design and it measures about 5 1/4 inches in diameter--love this size! It's also a cutting and embossing die.
This sweet angel from Magnolia is called Tilda With Hanging Heart from the A Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010. You can purchase the stamp for this image (and anything Magnolia and much more) from Diana's store Magnolia-licious.
I am using this card as my entry into the following challenges:
Paper Sundaes Challenge 48 - Anything but a square or rectangle.
Creative Inspirations Challenge 49 - Anything goes Christmas.
Stamp With Fun Challenge 89 - Christmas.
Passion for Promarkers Week 80 - Anything goes.

Flutter By Wednesday Challenge 135 - Open challenge.

The inside of my card looks like this. The sentiment on the bottom section was heat embossed in gold embossing powder. I've added a little blank space on the top section to write my personal notes on.

Really beautiful Norma. I am intrigued by the nice big round die cut. That would be a nice addition to my craft room. Nice that it has the embossing on it. Love the branches that she is leaning on. Nice touch. Your coloring is lovely.
