We Create December Blog Hop Happy Holidays

It's December which means it's time to hop along with the We Create Blog Hop as we celebrate Happy Holidays for this month's theme. It's hard to believe we are at the end of 2020 and what a year it has been for us all. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects and ideas to help you celebrate the Holidays and finish off the year on a positive note.

My card design today is a fun traditional style Christmas card featuring the Christmas Means More stamp set (item #154730) combined with the Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153489) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the vintage feel of the designer series paper and the large sentiment that makes the perfect focal image for this card design. With a little embellishing, it is a perfect way to create beautiful cards without a lot of fuss.

This card design is simple to assemble which makes it a great design for creating multiples to send out to friends and family. The designer series paper layer is attached to the Cherry Cobbler cardstock layer with Stampin' Seal Adhesive and then these layers are attached to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder to step up the card design and was attached to the Cherry Cobbler scalloped circle die cut with Stampin' Seal Adhesive. The beautiful Shaded Spruce !" Argyle Satin Ribbon from the Wonder of the Season Combo Ribbon Pack, coordinates perfectly with the designer series paper and I added a piece across the width of the card front and added the sentiment on top with Stampin' Dimensionals. The bow was added with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals below the sentiment to finish off the design. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment to create the holly berries for a touch of bling.

With the supplies I used to create this card, you could create a variety of designs using the beautiful papers in the Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series and the wonderful sentiments in the Christmas Means More stamp set. It's a wonderful way to create beautiful cards to send out to the special people in your life.
