MERRY PATTERNS CARD:

Hello there! I wanted to share this festive Christmas card that will be available to make at my Card Buffet coming up again in 2 weeks. It features the exclusive set Merry Patterns, and is only available through the end of October. You get this lovely stamp set for FREE when you host a Workshop with $300 in sales. You'll get this set in addition to the Stampin' Rewards when you host a SU! party.

I started with a Whisper White base and randomly stamped the branches with Old Olive ink. On top of that I added a layer of Merry Little Christmas DSP. I then wrapped a piece of Quilted Christmas Ribbon around the card and tied a bow. Next, I stamped the deer with Soft Suede ink onto a square of Whisper White Cardstock. On a scrap piece of cardstock, I inked up the sweater with Real Red ink and cut it out with my Paper Snips. I attached it to the deer with SNAIL. I added a piece of Real Red Cardstock behind the Whisper White with SNAIL as well. I added Dimensionals to the back of the Real Red Cardstock and adhered it over the ribbon, making sure to clear it.

I stamped the sentiment with Real Red ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the strip underneath it using one of the candle images with Old Olive ink. I attached the sentiment over the top with Dimensionals. Finally I added a pair of Metallic Enamel Shapes to finish it off.

As some of you may know, I'm working really hard to earn the SU! Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles. I would love to help you get this stamp set for FREE by having you invite some of your friends over for a fun night of stamping! PLUS, I'm going to sweeten the deal a little more, and give you a BONUS card box with 5 cards using this stamp set to give you even more ideas! If this sounds like something you'd be interested in shoot me an email or better yet, come to my Card Buffet on Thursday, October 5th anytime from 4-8 at First Christian Church in Burlington. I'll have several displays set up of upcoming events I'm holding, and you'll be able to see everything in person. If you know you'll be there please let me know so I can have a little surprise for you:) Thanks so much for stopping by!
