Can you believe it, I told you I'd be back and here I am! I guess I must still be in the mood to make Christmas cards cause, here's one more. For this card I'm using the Sketch Challenge over at SCS and all Stampin' Up! products. My version of the sketch is called Merry & Bright Flurries.
I started with a Whisper White standard card base, added a smaller piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and then a piece from the Hostess Level 3 Holiday Happenings Bundle and a piece of Chocolate Chip Patterns Designer Series Paper. Across the designer paper I added a strip of Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Ribbon. On the right side I layered two felt flurries and attached them together with a Build-a-Brad. In the middle I added a 1/2" circle I punched out of designer paper.
The three squares on the side are made out of Chocolate Chip, Designer Paper and Whisper White card stock. On two of the Whisper White pieces I stamped the snowman and the tree from the Merry & Bright stamp set with Basic Black ink and colored them in. The sentiment also from the Merry & Bright set, I stamped on a piece of scrap Whisper White card stock, colored them in and punched it out with the small oval punch. I layered it on top of a large Oval I punched out of Chocolate Chip card stock. On each of the sides I added a 1/4" circle I punched out of designer paper. I also used the Scallop Square Punch for one of the pieces to give it a little more dimension. I adhered the three squares to the right side of the card and it's ready to be mailed out!
The colors, the papers, the ribbons, the punches-all perfect!
