FLT109 A Cute Christmas with Matching Designer Series Paper

This Christmas card is based on a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping, Challenge F109.

It ended up being a little more "fancy" than I had intended by adding the green circles inside the red circles. It features Stampin Up's new "Candy Cane Christmas" Specialty Designer Series Paper. This particular sheet matches the stamp set, "A Cute Christmas." It's a little hard to tell from the picture but there are white mittens on the paper that match the stamped mittens.

Words of Wisdom for today: don't forget about using Whisper White as the background for your cards!

I usually overlook it in favor of a color.

I am definitely in the mood for Christmas and decorating for the holidays after making a couple of Christmas cards for my blog. So, Merry Christmas about 2 1/2 months early! :)

I used the following Stampin Up products to make this card:

Real Red, Garden Green, and Basic Black Classic Ink

Blender Pen

Circle Punches

Cute Christmas with Sketch Frenzy Friday

It's Friday again.

The temperature was around 105 in Phoenix today and I'm making Christmas cards.

What's even weirder is that 105 doesn't seem that hot.

It's certainly better than when it was 116.

Who would have ever guessed I'd be thankful when the temperature got down to 105?!

So Merry Christmas, Everybody! Hope it's a cute one!
