Dasher in Pastels: Another Christmas Card

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday. For my Happy Monday post, I have another Christmas card. I used the sketch from Winter Wonderland. It is a pretty challenging sketch. But for some reason, once I changed to a pastel color scheme, the layout came together. Go figure. Here is the sketch.

I die cut a scallop circle (Sizzix) from Sage Shadow CS (Stampin' Up) and painted it with Shimmer Paint (SU). I stamped Dasher in Handsome Hunter ink (both SU). I punched circles from K & Company Christmas paper and stamped snowflakes (Inkadinkado) on them. I also stamped a sentiment on a piece of Sage Shadow CS (both from SU) and punched. I arranged the circles following the sketch on a square of DP (K & Co). I added a strip of DP cut with scallop scissors. The card base is aqua CS from Bazzill. I finished off the card with a silver snowflake ribbon and some gem stickers (K & Co). Here are some detail photos.

OWH Stars and Stamps: Christmas card

Well, I am getting some Christmas cards done but, I have not decided on the design I will use for all of my cards. I usually pick one design and make multiples. I make about 60 cards. And it is easier to make multiples of one design. I have been picking one stamp and using that so I don't have to try to remember which stamp I used on a card I sent out. Don't want to send the same image to the same person now do I??! I keep telling myself I have enough Christmas theme stamps to make a different card for years to come and therefore do not need to purchase any more stamps. HAHA. Sometimes it works.

I am having a Stampin' Up party on Thursday. I have to come up with some yummy dessert to serve. I was thinking of a fruit pizza. Has anyone made that before? It sounds really good.

Okay, that's all for me today.
