It’s Thursday again…the days really roll around quickly, especially this time of year! Create with Connie and Mary has a great color combination for you to try this week! It’s perfect for Christmas!

Here’s my card using Stampin’ Up!’s Tag Buffet Stamp Set. This set will be retiring…AND the coordinating Tag Buffet Project Kit is currently 50% off! While supplies last.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
- Three 1 x 4 pieces of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper in different patterns were added towards the left on the front.
- A 1 x 5-1/4 strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock was stamped with the greeting from Tag Buffet in Mossy Meadow Ink, then layered on a 1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock. It was added across the front.
- A 2″ Circle was punched from Whisper White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The ornament was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Real Red Combo, Light Gray Granite, Dark Old Olive, Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. It was cut out and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two leaf branches were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink and colored with Pear Pizzazz Marker. They were hand-cut and tucked behind the top of the ornament.
- Some 1/8 Red/Gold Ribbon was tied in a bow and added to the top of the ornament.
- A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the ornament for a little bling!
