Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #222 is Christmas Gathering. I used lots of layered on my card, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the colors along with the snowflake in the photo for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 222.  How are you inspired by the photos?

My design for today’s card was from As You See It Challenge #362

Adhere a panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base. Adhere a smaller panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to a Cherry Cobbler mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Adhere the 2 panels of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to coordinating Cherry Cobbler mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to the card front. Using the Delicate Pines Dies, cut 3 of the large pine boughs from a panel of Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and cut the medium snowflake from a panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP. Adhere the 3 large pine boughs together. Adhere the die cut snowflake on top of the pine boughs. Adhere the die cut panel to the panel of Cherry Cobbler, off centering it. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

On a strip of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Adhere the sentiment across the center of the snowflake. Add a few Faceted Snowflakes to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the medium and small snowflake images from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Secret Sea Inks on the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the snowflake images from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Secret Sea Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to the envelope flap.

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