Welcome and Happy Chilly Monday!  51 Days until the “Big” event.  Think of all the work you have ahead for that big event and then it is over in the blink of an eye and you are exhausted!  We work so hard to make our Christmas celebration fun and beautiful and the day is over much too soon for all the work.  I think we should just take a cruise and enjoy Christmas on a ship someplace!  Wanta make reservations? 😉

The card for today is created let’s just say with Stampin’ Up! products, since there are so many I used today!

My design inspiration comes from CAS(E) This Sketch.  

In starting this card, the first thing I did was to color the art piece that I had cut from Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP. I used Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Light Real Red and Light Mango Melody.  For the inside pieces, I then fussy cut them.  Don’t you just love fussy cutting, that why I have special scissors.😉

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a mat of Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  A banner created using Stampin’ Up! Garden  Lane Designer Series Paper and a Basic Black mat. This is adhered down the middle of the card front. 

The art piece is a 3-1/8″ Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP and colored with Stampin’ Blends.  The mat is Basic Black card stock and has the greeting from Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner stamped in the lower-left corner in Stampin’ Up! Gold Delicata Metallic Ink.  Three Stampin’ Up! Gold Glitter Enamel Dots are adhered in the right corner.  A bow made from Stampin’ Up! Gold Shimmer Ribbon (from the Christmastime Is Here Suite) is popped on the corner of the art piece using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and is decorated using flowers and a bird fussy cut from the Bird Ballad DPS.  As I stated earlier, the flowers were colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope gets a panel of the colored Bird Ballad DSP also to finish out my project.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.
