Just a quick post today to share a card using the new Jolly Delivery bundle. It's been fun to get a start on Christmas cards lately! I used the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for this one. The FMS team is on their 700th challenge!! So many years of fabulous inspiration and I tried finding the oldest sketch I had played along with but my search feature on my blog didn't bring back results in year order so it was a bit of needle in a haystack attempt. Needless to say I've been getting inspired by this challenge blog for a really long time!
I don't often make square cards but when the sketch calls for it I see what I can do! I started with a Real Red base then added squares of new Christmas Tags & More DSP for the back ground. Each square is 2"x2" so you end up with a nice border around each one.
I stamped the bear from Jolly Delivery on Basic White and then cut it out with the Stylish Shapes square die. I stamped the gifts a second time onto DSP from the same back and cut them out to have some little paper pieced boxes. The bear is lightly lined with my light Pool Party Blends marker to give a bit of shading (hard to see in the photo).
I stamped the mailbox in Memento onto Basic White then colored in with Blends. It's cut and popped on dimensionals to the edge of the bear panel to follow the sketch.
Some new white & gold baker's twine is tied in a bow and added to the mailbox. New Traditional Sparkling Sequins are added to the corner of the big square.
With the smaller surface of the square card I couldn't really get a sentiment to fit so I left it off and just added one to the inside.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
