Be Merry

I've got a festive Christmas card to share today that I made for the sketch challenge this week at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.  First let's look at the sketch.   Along with it,  we were asked to include a snowflake in our design. 

I wanted to use the Be Merry single stamp, so I turned the sketch on it's side.  Here's my festive card.

I love the how this card turned out!!  This stamp is so fun and easy to work with.  I started out with a Gumball Green card base for a pop of color.  The card stock is Core'dinations, I wanted the embossing stand out.  After it was embossed with the Northern Flurry EF, I lightly sanded the snowflakes with the sanding block.  Next a strip of striped paper from the Season of Style DSP pack was added to the left side of the card front.  I stamped Be Merry with Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card stock and cut it out.  The final detail is the snowflake from Endless Wishes stamped with Gumball Green on Whisper White.  I punched it out with the Hexagon Punch, it was a perfect fit!  Basic Rhinestone Jewels on the snowflake added some sparkle and completed the card. 

 Thanks for stopping by to check out my card today.  I hope you will join
us at Try Stampin' On Tuesday and make a card of your own with this week's sketch.  You can find
out more details about the challenge on the Try Stampin' Blog along with more great samples from the Design Team.

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
