Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, LeAnne is hosting our Sketch Challenge.
Sketch Challenge week is ALWAYS a favorite for me and this is certainly no exception! As soon as I saw the sketch I was immediately inspired to create a Christmas card with some brand new stamping goodies. It’s never too early to get started on those holiday cards, right? I sure hope you will take this challenge for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve shared measurements and a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.
I used quite a few sneak peeks from he Stampin’ Up!® September - December Mini Catalog on my card today. This catalog will go live starting September 6th, 2023 and is filled with all kinds of fabulous products for the fall and winter season and beyond! This card uses one of my favorite new stamp sets: Joy to You. There is nothing like a big, bold sentiment and this card has 4 to choose from. The font is so crisp and clean and the sentiment look extra fancy when they are heat embossed!
I also used a few new products from the Merry Bold & Bright Suite which features a rainbow of bright and happy colors for the holiday season. This entire suite was first on my list as soon as I saw the new catalog! On this card, I used the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper along with the Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets for some extra shine. I also added a little trio of Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs for a little pop of color around the sentiment. I LOVE these embellishments! They come in 5 colors, add fab detail and have a low profile which makes them great for mailing. The ribbon also comes from the new Mini Catalog and it ties beautifully. I love how this card came together and I hope you do as well!
