Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines for The Card Concepts

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.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Winter 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

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
