#stampinup “I love it when a plan comes together.” ~Hannibal Smith/The A Team….well, this wasn’t really a plan. Maybe it’s more like synchronicity. Is that a word or just a song by the Police? Ugh. I’m really showing my 80s.
Anyway, I had a cute little Santa that I fussy cut from a piece of Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper sitting on my desk. I’d planned to use him on a card this week. Then, I logged into the Stampin’ Up website and saw the sweetest card made with the totes adorbs reindeer from the same DSP. The card is pretty cute, too, so I decided to CASE it.
I clicked on the card to get a better view of it and, lo and behold, it was made by one of my stamping faves, Mindy Backes!! I hit for the cycle! Mindy’s card is perfect in every way. Stampin’ Up even commented, “We love all of the fun little embellishments on this card!” Seriously, who wouldn’t?! I don’t have all those embellishments or the stamp set, so I used what I had. My card is the “dumbed down” version of Mindy’s card.
I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a piece of Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper. Next, I added a Tea Lace Doily, a length of Gold 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon, and a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock cut with a Deco Framelit, popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock with one of the Circle Framelits and stamped a sentiment from the “Lots of Joy” stamp set in Mossy Meadow onto it. I adhered this and the cute Santa with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well.
The end result is not nearly as cute as Mindy’s card–but it’s still pretty cute because that Santa is totes adorbs!
