CHRISTMAS FRIENDS                                                                                    

I’ve been having fun playing with Christmas Friends stamp set!  Such cute critters!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Early Espresso cardstock was cut with the greenery circle from Reindeer Fun Dies.
• A 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Take a Bow Designer Paper was added to the bottom of the Early Espresso.
• A 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Take a Bow Designer Paper was placed behind the opening and then the entire layer added to the base card.
• The owl was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Crumb Cake, Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.  He was cut with the Christmas Friends Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
