Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring some punch art. I choose to go simple and create a Christmas tree out of one of my punches. After digging through, I settled on the Christmas bulb punch to create the “leaves.” From there, I stamped some leaf detail using a retired stamp and got to punching. After assembling my tree, I added a few ornaments with a hole punch and a tree topper with a star punch. For a final touch, I added some Wink of Stella “snow” to my card face.

Today’s card is another fun and layered Christmas card for this season. I incorporated some fun little elements (cat punch, paper clips) with the great patterns of the Festive Farmhouse DSP pack. I might have to make a few more of these with different patterns from the pack.

How pretty is this card? I love the combo of pink and lime green. I think I should make a few more of these cards to send out...
Today's sketch comes from November 2015:
Here's what I originally did:
A fun nontraditional color scheme for today's card. I love the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper from last year's SAB so much and thankfully I had a few bits leftover still. I decided to play off the glimmer paper and do a fun layered card. I also found this great piece of pattern paper from an old A Beautiful Mess kit.
Today's sketch comes from August 2014:
I'm so glad that SU carried over the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set from last year's Holiday Catalog. The images are too cute to get rid of! For this card, I took a page from a Halloween card from last year, flipped it on the side, and switched out the ghouls for Christmas images. Plus, I found a great card to showcase the beautiful plaid paper from the Christmas Around the World DSP.
Today's sketch comes from June 2014:
At first, I had no idea with to do with this sketch. But then, I stumbled upon a few pieces of pattern paper that included this little flags. I simply fussy cut these flags to create the card. It's a busy card, but I really enjoy this one.
