HAPPY Holidays

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday – I hope you are planning a fun weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #51 – Anything Christmas Goes! I created a pretty Christmas card in non-traditional colors which I totally love!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and rounded the upper and lower right corners. I also cut narrow strips from CutCardStock Pop Tone Berrylicious cardstock and slightly wider strips of a diagonal plaid print from My Favorite Things Cheerful Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

Using the My Favorite Things Pretty Poinsettias stamp set, I stamped the background images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink, cut it with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large die and popped it up on a foam strip. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with a strip of the diagonal plaid used on the front, and stamped another sentiment from the Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink.
