Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This is a cute hanging Santa trio, and I used Sweetest Star stamp set on my card, of course!
SWEETEST STAR
I just love all the small Christmas prints in the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Paper Pack! I used several of them in 1″ strips for my background.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- Five Take a Bow patterns were cut into 1 x 4 strips and adhered in the background with a small spacing between them.
- The Spotlight on Nature circle was cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and the first part of the Sweetest Star greeting inked with a Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The dots were added to show the greeting continued on the inside.
- Some Iridescent Ribbon was looped a couple times and attached to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional, then the circle added on top with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Santa star was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Real Red, Light Basic Black, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Gray Granite, and Ivory Stampin’ Blends. He was punched out with the Sweetest Star Punch and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of white Drusy Embellishments were added to the background (they REALLY sparkle!)
SO much fun! Love it! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
