Good Tuesday morning, peeps! My card today is inspired by two challenges using the Arrange a Wreath Stamp Set.
The challenges are: CAS Christmas October 2020 and Just Add Ink Sketch #527
Let me warn you, you're in for a little earworm with my card!
Ha, do you have 12 Days of Christmas stuck in your head now? I do!!
Ingredients and measurements:
Early Espresso Card Base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
2020-2022 In Color DSP: 4" x 5 1/4"
Whisper White Art Panel: 3 1/2" x 5"
Inks: Bumblebee, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder
Antiqued Corners and Sliders
Faux Suede Trim
I wanted it to kind of resemble a journal. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for the inside. I think it could be masculine or feminine. Agree?

Love the colors and fun design Karen! Fantastic layout too! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Amy.
DeleteSuch an awesome card Karen :) Love your design and how you used the slide with the ribbon. I haven't used any of mine yet. I wasn't sure where to add them in
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen. I love the sliders and the corners.
DeleteOH MY GOSH....I love this card! I was so on the fence about this bundle....but I think it might have to go on my next order! I love your layout, the embossing and the color! Just delightful! TFS!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, LeAnne. I was on the fence but then Amy K. and Mary D. had created cards with it so I gave in. Then my mind looked at the stamps yesterday and I decided to try to make a tree out of the pears and it went from there!
DeleteOh wow - this is a WONDERFUL card, Karen! Love the quiet colors and the textures and the design!! Very well done! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mary.
DeleteHow cute! So very creative. I’m fighting the song now! TFS.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan.
