Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. Our theme for November is Christmas! Time to be thinking about what you will be making for Christmas cards and gifts!

WARMS MY HEART
I haven’t used this lady in this Warms My Heart stamp set yet! It’s a fun Christmas image!

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
- Three rectangles were cut from the Take A Bow 6×6 Designer Paper in sizes polka dot 1-3/4 x 3-1/4, red polka dot 3/4 x 5 and green stripe 1 x 4. They were layered on the Basic White.
- The wreath gal was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Ivory, SU100, SU300, Real Red Combo, Light Old Olive and Light Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. She was hand-cut and added to the front with Stmapin’ Dimensionals. NOTE: To get the “Garden Green” color, I used a layer of Light Shaded Spruce Blends first, then added Light Old Olive Blends on top.
- The greeting was partially stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 1-3/4 Real Red cardstock and cut the end at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of gold Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background.

I think she is SO adorable! She reminds me of a friend that I used to work with that had a head full of curly dark hair! Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
