It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! For each Thursday in July, we pick a different sample from Stampin’ Up’s! Annual Catalog to use as our inspiration. We are not copying the card but using it to inspire our creation…maybe we use the same set or the colors or the layout or some combination of all the above…it is fun seeing where the inspiration piece will take each of the designers! Here’s this week’s inspiration:

MOST WONDERFUL
I been waiting for a chance to use the wreath in my new Most Wonderful stamp set! I think it is the same image that they used on their wedding card…but it was perfect for a Christmas card!

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 Lemon Lime Twist was stamped with the Most Wonderful wreath in Garden Green Ink in the center.
- The banner was cut from Basic Beige cardstock with the Party Banners Die and stamped with the Most Wonderful greeting in Real Red Ink. It was added to the center of the wreath with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two greenery images from Jolly Holly were stamped with Garden Green Ink on Garden Green cardstock and hand-cut, then added to the top right of the wreath with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The bells from Jolly Holly were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Darling Duckling, Real Red Stampin’ Blends, then hand-cut and added on top of the greenery with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of gold Low Profile Dots were added to the background.
