Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another super simple Christmas card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Mix & Match specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week, so I decided to use the pretty wreath to make a book fold card!

After scoring and burnishing the Real Red card base I adhered the left side book bind section together with liquid glue.

I used the pretty Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to emboss Basic White panels for the two sections of the card front. I adhered the embossed panels to the card with liquid glue. I used my Garden Green Stampin’ Write marker to color the center part of Basic White Frayed ribbon and wrapped it around the book bind edge and tied a knot.

I adhered the pretty holly wreath from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive specialty DSP to the main section with dimensionals. I adhered three triple berries to the wreath to give it some sparkle. And that’s it – so quick and easy!! And a great way to show off the pretty wreath!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This is such a pretty holly wreath from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Mix & Match specialty DSP pack and I wanted to let it stand on it’s own against a simple textured Basic White background. And the bow from the DSP pack is perfect with the wreath, so I didn’t want to make another one with ribbon. I hope you’re inspired to check out the new Mix & Match items. This DSP pack is expected to be restocked next week and it coordinates with the Christmas Ephemera packs. They’re great for quick and easy Christmas crafting of any kind!
