Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Sentimental Christmas designer series paper pack is full of pretty, nostalgic Christmas images and I paired it with sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery card for a holiday card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week that fits the Sentimental Christmas DSP pretty well:

I adhered a panel of striped Sentimental Christmas designer series paper to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue and then adhered another tree filled panel on top. I cut a panel with a sweet fawn with a Stylish Shapes circle die and adhered it to a Poppy Parade mat cut with a Spotlight On Nature die. I adhered the layered circle to the card with dimensionals.

I used the Winterly Treetops pine sprigs dies to cut Old Olive and adhered them together. I used the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery berry dies to cut Poppy Parade card stock and adhered the berries to the pine sprigs. I cut a Shaded Spruce panel with the leafy sprig from the Sentimental Wishes dies and adhered the die cut greenery to the bottom of the circle on the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on Basic Beige and cut it out with the coordinating small label die. I folded a short length of Shaded Spruce ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

For the inside panel, I stamped sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I fussy cut some birds and greenery and adhered them to the top corner and trimmed the side with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments images from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery bundle coordinate nicely with lots of different styles. It’s nice to be able to combine elements from different stamps and dies for your projects.
