Warm Thoughts

Howdy peeps! Happy Thursday and Happy Birthday to my bestie from middle school, my nephew, and my older brother in Heaven. Lots of special people born on this day. I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project created with the Snow Ladies Trio stamp set along with the Nesting Tag Dies. I totally love this stamp set and have used all three images and three sentiments in the set to create a double flap fun fold, and I love how it turned out! I always love using non-traditional colors on Christmas cards!

The card bases, inside layering panel and one tag were cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Another tag was cut from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock and the layering panels were cut from coordinating prints in the My Favorite Things Cheerful Plaid 6×6 paper pad. I fashioned a bow from some pink gingham ribbon in my stash to embellish the pink tag. I have to say I’m really enjoying the Nesting Tag Dies because each one has a different stitched edge and they are so fun!

All three Snow Ladies were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with alcohol markers, and each one sports a different sentiment. I totally love that different images and sentiments can be used on the multiple layers of this fun fold, providing little surprises for the recipient as each layer is lifted!
