Happy Friday, peeps! The Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers has lovely sketches for creating Christmas cards and I couldn't resist the one for this go-round:
I recently got some beautiful Mintay Christmas papers; being 6x6" square, it's often challenging to figure out a way to use them on a standard-sized card, but I was able to trim one of the pieces down, slicing it into 1 7/8" x 5" panels (although I do see that there are measurements on the sketch--duh), so here we go:
The artwork on these papers is stunning! I stamped a sentiment from the retired Shine Bright in Real Red, and added a little fussy-cut cardinal which are also included in the paper pad. You can't see it very well, but there is also a glimmer snowflake tucked under the panel too:
Another sentiment from the set went on the inside of the Blushing Bride card, and I adhered a little strip of the other side of the paper at the bottom:
Good to build up my holiday card stash! And since the Little Red Wagon challenge this week is looking for some "sugar", I'm entering it there as well....since all those little gingerbread goodies and that cup of hot cocoa certainly contain sugar! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
