Christmas Card

Happy Wednesday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It's time for another Creative Belli challenge.

This time our theme is a 1234 challenge (example: 1 piece of designer paper, 2 flowers, 3 colors, 4 brads, whatever combo you wish but it must be 1234)

The spirit of the Creative Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments! My designer paper is from last years Stampin-Up Christmas collection-spellbinder dies are a year old.

Everyone is welcome to play along! Challenge a stamping friend! Just follow the theme-it's that easy.

Check out what the other Creative Belli designers have made for this interesting challenge. You won't be disappointed.

Chris Dickinson, Maria Matter, Jessica Stockmeyer

For my card, I used 1 piece of ribbon, 2 sentiments, 3 paper embellishments (spellbinders tag die, poinsettia cut from designer paper and holly sprig cut from designer paper), 4 poinsettias.

My stamps are from the Sweet 'n Sassy sets, Christmas Light and Light of Christmas.


These 2 stamp sets are so versatile. They can be used in a variety of ways and without a stamped focal image. And that's what I am showing you today.

I used the background stamp (Light of Christmas set) and stamped it in artichoke ink directly onto my designer paper. The Merry Christmas (Christmas Light set) sentiment I stamped in cherry cobbler ink and layered on a spellbinders fancy tag 2 die.

I cut one of the large poinsettias from the designer paper and popped it up for dimension. I used some cherry cobbler ribbon and cut a holly leaf and added to the bow center.

That's my card for today. So until next time ........God Bless
