Little Christmas Squares - Stampin' Up!® A Little Cheer

   I'm trying to cool off on this HOT July day by thinking ahead to a cozy Christmas time.  The Just Add Ink challenge is Christmas in July so I thought I would break out my brand new A Little Cheer bundle that was released this month in Stampin' Up!®'s Online Exclusives.  I can't resist a sweet little punch bundle and now is the perfect time to get some cards stocked in my Christmas bins!

  The images are smaller than I thought they would be once I punched them out so be aware that the punches don't leave any white border around the image like a lot of the Stampin' Up!® punches.  If you're using just the stamped image it will be a little bit bigger but still pretty small.

  When I've got small images to highlight I always like to add them to several layers of cardstock to give them a nice base so they don't get lost on that big card front.  I used a bit of Floral Impressions DSP in a nice Garden Green pattern for the background.  I added a length of Real Red ribbon before adding the next layers.  

 Real Red, then a piece of Country Woods DSP, then a 1 1/4" square for each image make up the base.  I stamped the stocking in Real Red, the tree in Garden Green, embossed the star in gold and stamped the sentiment in Memento Black.  Each image is punched and popped up on a 1" square.  The sentiment square is popped also.

 Finally a fork bow on the side finishes off the details on this card.  This would be a quick one to make multiples of and use up some smaller scraps of Basic White.  Change up the DSP to match your color scheme and you have a whole new look!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
