One of the sets debuting in the Holiday Mini Catalog is Mr. Twigster (111772 $13.95). It's a nice little set with a snowman, accessories and a Christmas tree. I only used the tree on this card. Items in the mini catalog will be available from October 1, 2008 - January 18, 2009.
I was inspired by a card posted by Anne-Marie Bouthillette (ambouth) in her Splitcoast gallery. This card uses a few easy techniques. The first technique uses strips of cardstock to make your own striped paper.) I used glue stick to adhere the cardstock to the very vanilla base.) I also used markers to color the tree. Since Stampin' Up! doesn't have Baja Breeze marker, I used a blender pen and an ink pad to make my own.

I am a big fan of Stampin' Up markers. They have a brush and fine tip in exclusive SU colors. For more information about Stampin Up markers click here.
