Stampin' Up! Wise Men From Afar Christmas Card

Good Sunday morning, peeps! Yesterday we had a fun afternoon with our friends. We didn't end up playing Cornhole because there was no shade and it wasn't as cool as we had hoped for. Our meal was delicious and we taught them a new board game in between munchies. It's called 5 Straight and I've had it for 50 years.

Today my card is another one we made at card group Thursday. Dottie brought this kit. I hadn't put it together until I got home because I had ink splotches and had to figure out how I was going to hide them. Lo and behold, I go to my retired Christmas stamp sets and I have the exact one Dottie used...Wise Men From Afar! I re-stamped the sentiment and the inside as well...no more ink where it shouldn't be!!

The card base is Shaded Spruce cardstock with a mat of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The art panel is Whisper White. The wise men are gold heat embossed. The palm tree is stamped in retired Always Artichoke ink. 

The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and is punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch as is the mat. I adhered the sentiment to the mat with liquid glue and then adhered that to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The star is gold embossed and punched out with a 1" circle punch. The mat is punched with a 1 3/4" punch. I adhered the star to the mat with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside...

I stamped another sentiment from Wise Men From Afar on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and used Cherry Cobbler ink. The palm tree is stamped in Old Olive. Now I've got another Christmas card for the books!
