Farmhouse Christmas Greeting Card

The Farmhouse Christmas greeting card reminds me of an old fashioned Christmas from days past. I never spent a Christmas on a farm, but it is one of those nostalgic scenes that we see from time to time. The one element that drew me to the Festive Farmhouse Suite was the fence.

Before  I start with my project, I want to alert you to the 12 Weeks of Christmas emails which will start coming to your email box, if  you are a subscriber to my emails.  You can subscribe to my emails by clicking on this LINK.

Who can resist a fence like this?  Not me that is for sure.  It is so much easier to die cut a fence rather than stamping, embossing and cutting the fence.  When I receive my Stampin’ Up! order, I immediately went to this set looking for the fence.  Imagine my horror when I couldn’t find it.  After counting the number of dies several times, I turned the package over.  And guess what!  The fence is on the back of the paper holding the other die cuts.  Hello, Karen!
