I earned the hostess set Northern Hearts recently and was excited that it matched my Northern Trim letterpress die.  So, its funny that the first card I created with it ended up having nothing to do with the matching die, even though I had finished scraps from the right die lying around.  Oh well, this let me play with my other item I just had to have, but hadn’t used yet – the big buttons from the holiday mini.

I used markers to color the stamp set and then added one of the biggest buttons in the pack!

I can’t decide if this is a Christmas/holiday card or not.  What do you think?  Would you send this as a Christmas card?
