Yeah! Saturday and time for another Stamping 411 sketch. When I first looked at this sketch, I had NO clue what I would do. Then I saw a new stamp set (for me) called Christmas Classics. I have wanted this set for the single stamp, Jingle All The Way, that matches the Decor Elements piece. I finally picked it up with my hostess credits on my last order!
So here is my take on this sketch! I started with a base of Garden Green (somehow I have ended up with 3 full packages of this card stock color!) The Whisper White layer was run thru the Big Shot with the Petals A Plenty cardstock…LOVE this look! I wrapped the Real Red 3/4 Polka Dot Ribbon around and tied it in the front. I decided not to be a sentiment here since I already had one in the center. I used my Stampin' Write markers in Real Red and Garden Green to ink up the Jingle All the Way stamp from Stampin' Up!'s Christmas Classics stamp set.. I layered the Whisper White on Garden Green, then a layer of Real Red.
Pretty simple card, but I think it packs a lot of wow with the textured background and the alternating layers!

Love it! what a happy traditional and clean looking card. that ribbon's one of my favorites! And love what that embossing folder does especially what you've done with it. You have created a fabulous card.
Connie – I love this card. I love the texture and the colors. the red and green look fabulous together and it was great to see a card where a sentiment takes center stage. Love the polka dot ribbon, too.
