Stampin' Dreams - Christmas Blog Hop

Thursday, 8 December 2022

Time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world who participate each month to share projects we are working on. This month our theme is Christmas. My card features a few products that are retiring from the current Stampin' Up! September to December Mini Catalogue. Time to grab them before they are gone!

I created this card on a recent Sketch Challenge using the Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set. In addition, I used an embossing folder from the Charming Landscapes Pack, a Wonderful Snowflake and DSP from the Sweetest Christmas. I love how this card turned out.

Here's the sketch I was working from.

Every Tuesday night I share a sketch and make a card at 6:30pm Pacific. You can join me on Facebook in my group or on my page or via my YouTube Channel.

Now, here's the card. Isn't this pretty! I deconstructed the sentiment and adhered them back together. I love this!
