It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! It’s a fun sketch challenge to try this week!

FESTIVE FRIENDS
I think these Christmas icons are SO cute in this set! I’m sure I’ll be using them a bunch! I know I’ll be making tags with the grandkids this year!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock is embossed with the Jolly Holly Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- A 1 x 5 strip of Real Red cardstock is cut at the bottom with a flag end and adhered towards the left side.
- The 3 x 3-1/2 piece of Traditions of Christmas DSP is added on top.
- A 2-3/8″ circle was punched from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Santa was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Memento Black Ink and colored with Real Red, Ivory, Light Smoky Slate, Light Basic Black and Light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the die and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink and cut with the tag die. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added in the openings on the tag and two green and one red added to the background.
