fa la la la llama!

Hi friends! Well, another month is starting today and it’s really hard to believe it’s the 1st of May already! The months are flying by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #44 – Anything Christmas Goes! Doesn’t this guy just make you giggle?! OMGosh, I chuckled the entire time I was assembling this card!

Using the Hero Arts Color Layering Llama stamp set, I stamped the image on 80# Solar White cardstock with a variety of Stampin’ Up inks and cut it with the coordinating die. I used the Concord & 9th Gingham Background stamp set to stamp the background and trimmed the panel to fit a standard A2 size top-folding card base cut from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock. I cut a narrow panel from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock and adhered it to the background along with a narrow strip cut from the green cardstock. I adhered the llama with Stampin’ Up Dimensionals and stamped the sentiment and musical notes. The final touch was adding Eyelet Outlet Holiday Bling to complete the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip trimmed from the stamped gingham panel on the front and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Year Round Messages stamp set and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock.

And one more peek… I can’t get over this llama! He’s so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!
