Saturday Live is here — and today is our Christmas kickoff! On Tuesday we stamped simple two-tone trees with the Twinkling Tidings Bundle, and today we turn them into our first Christmas card of the season, together.
We will start with the layout you picked on Friday, arrange our stamped and die-cut trees in a small cluster on a simple panel with plenty of open space, add our Christmas greeting, and lift just one tree with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional so it stands a little proud of the rest. Then we finish with a few Christmas Epoxy Shapes or Gold Dots. If one tree lands a tiny bit crooked, we nudge it, smile, and keep going — that is handmade.
Come sit at my craft table. You are welcome here, mistakes and all.

So Sorry y’all!! The Wednesday Sketchbook didn’t post. Here it is!

Sketch 04: the circle spotlight. One wide band across the middle, one circle resting over its center — flat or popped up with a Dimensional — and a little greeting strip underneath. It looks like a lot of work and comes together in minutes, all from your stash.

Turn it, flip it, or use what you have. No wrong way.

**Cut list:**
- Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, scored at 4 1/4 inches
- Wide band: 5 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches (trim to span your card)
- Circle: about 2 inches across (die, punch, or hand-traced)
- Greeting strip: 2 x 1/2 inches

**Build steps:**
1. Fold the card base and attach the wide band across the middle.
2. Layer the circle over the center of the band — flat, or popped up with a Stampin' Dimensional for a little lift.
3. Stamp or write your greeting on the strip and tuck it below the band.
4. Finish with a few embellishments if you like.

Saturday Live is here! On Tuesday we layered two Spotlight on Nature circles — one flat, one lifted with Dimensionals — and today we turn that pretty focal point into a finished card, together.
We'll start with the color combination you picked on Friday, layer our two decorative circles with lots of breathing room around them, add our greeting to the smaller circle, and finish with a little ribbon or a few simple embellishments. Clean, calm, and easier than it looks — and if your circles sit a tiny bit crooked, we just nudge and smile. It belongs here.
Plus a bonus: a little candy wrapper made from Spooktacular 6x6 paper. 🎃
Come sit at my craft table. You are welcome here, mistakes and all.
SUPPLIES (order through me):
• Spotlight on Nature Dies — 163580, $35.00
• Stylish Shapes Dies — 159183, $30.00 (squares, circles, and 4 banner dies)
• Spooktacular 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper — 168219, $13.00 (for the bonus candy wrapper)
• Basic White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock — 166780, $14.00 (plus two coordinating cardstock colors from your stash)

One heads-up, just so you know: Spooktacular is showing as Low on the October Last Chance list, so sooner is genuinely better if you like this paper. Any 6x6 or cut down a 12x12 will work too.
