I am so excited to have pre-ordered from the new Stampin' Up Holiday Mini! There are so many things in this catalog that are "must haves"! I ordered a new Christmas set and lots of new paper and embellishments. In the meantime, I am continuing to make Christmas cards with sets on hand.
This cardinal is made with a set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps called "Christmas Joy". I just love this cardinal; he is so fat! This card is for this week's challenge at
Freshly Made Sketches and for the challenge at
The Paper Players, which is the theme of "Christmas in July".
This is the sketch I followed. I made some minor changes; my 2 background panels are not equal in width and my image panel is off center.
To make this card I used-
Stamps-sweet N Sassy's Christmas Joy
Paper-Stampin' Up Very Vanilla, River Rock, Old Olive, Naturals White and retired dsp
Ink-Stazon Black
Other-Aqua Painter; Reinkers in Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Chocolate Chip and So Saffron, Large oval punch, dimenionals, Simply Scored tool, Crystal Snow glitter, ribbon
I hope you like the cardinal card. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful remainder of the weekend! Blessings-
Lee Ann
