Christmas Cheer

DSCF5190

It is raining BUCKETS here in SE PA, cold & chilly!  What a good day to stay inside and stamp!  The Pals Paper Arts challenge #7 this week is a sketch:

 PPA7

and anything with images of three makes me smile!  It has a nice balance, I think!  So I decided to make a "vintage" card using the little Santa postage stamp image from Christmas Punch:

 DSCF5194

Pretty straightforward--nothing fancy schmancy!  Thanks for visiting today!

  • Stamps:  Christmas Punch, Teeny Tiny Wishes
  • Paper:  Kraft, Close to Cocoa, Christmas Cocoa DP, Very Vanilla
  • Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Real Red, Sahara Sand
  • Acc: 1 1/4" square punch, 1" circle punch, Word Window punch, wide striped and grosgrain ribbons, DD glitter, dimensionals

    Wow - that is absolutely beautiful. I love the color combinations and use of ribbon. The snowflake on the ribbon is so pretty. What an inspiring card.

    Simply super. I was looking at this set the other day, trying to think up a fresh way to look at it (aside from making gift tags for people.)
    I love when you do vintage, it is still a clean fresh look (some vintage gets a little 'much')
