Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. We have had the most gorgeous week her in NJ. Last night was a perfect night for our concert and the concert was fantastic. This concert was at the Art Center in NJ which is an outdoor theater and had gotten canceled in Aug because of storms we were having. It was well worth the wait.

We have our quarterly team meeting today, which we are able to attend in person if we live close enough. I’m lucky enough to live 20 minutes away. This meeting we do some stamping together and my card today is one that I’ll be presenting. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the center of the 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ panel of Basic White. Emboss the Basic White panel using the Forever Plaid EF. Using the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the center of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Cherry Cobbler.

Adhere the embossed Basic White panel to the die cut Cherry Cobbler panel using Liquid Glue, lining up the circles. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White, stamp the holly image from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set in tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. Stamp the candle image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink once. Color the images using Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the images out using the Sentimental Wishes Dies.

Using the Paper Snips, snip off the top 2 sections of the holly leaves. Adhere the holly to the bottom of the circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the candle over the holly using a Stampin’ Dimensional on the candles and Glue Dot on the bottom holly. Brush the candles using Clear Wink of Stella. Tie a small bow using the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. Adhere the bow to the top of the circle using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the candle image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the candle image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set on the envelope front and the holly image on the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images the same as the card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
