I did it again! I looked at the sketch of the week on thePaper Craft Crew Challenge website and I just couldn’t resist creating a new card in a layout that I never would have thought of on my own! Here is the sketch for the week:
I had a lot of fun creating my card this week because I received my order from Stampin’ Up yesterday! I finally got some fun new Designer Series Paper called Be of Good Cheer. It was on sale during the Online Extravaganza. I chose to use a whimsical piece of DSP because I’ve been dying to put that Cherry Cobbler card stock with the Gumball Green. And of course I got the ribbon bundle that was on sale, so I had the matching Gumball Green Ribbon. Then I had to top it off with the red button from the Brights Buttons that were also on sale! I did use my old standby Delightful Decorations stamp set punched out with the ornament punch. I LOVE it when you can get a stamp set that has a punch that coordinates with it. It’s like all is right in the universe when there is a coordinating set of stamps and cutting tools. Anyway…here’s my card, all built on Very Vanilla card stock. As you can see, I embossed the Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green card stock pieces together in my (new!) Lacey Brocade Embossing Folder. Ahh…another great invention.
You know that if you were here I would say, “Ta Da”!
This card makes me happy. So do the other two I made tonight as well. I hope that you are crafting and enjoying the season!

Great Christmas Card! I love the Be of Good Cheer DSP; I’d have to say this is my favorite Christmas DSP this year. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenges.
Thank you so much! I love that the challenges are taking me out of my comfort zone for card layouts!
