A Card a Day in December--Day #21

Is the countdown officially on in your house for Christmas? My kids are counting down and I am pretty much done everything except get my groceries…and putting together my holiday Paper Pumpkin kits! I don’t know why I have procrastinated on them!

I did make a new card for my 21st share today! Have you used the Hostess Stamp set, A Merry Hello, from the Handmade for You catalogue? If not, I hope this project inspires you to pull it off the shelf!

The base of this card is Just Jade, dare I say my favorite of the new In Colors, and a base layer of Whisper White.

I stamped the sentiment, Heartfelt Christmas, in Poppy Parade ink on the end of a 1 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch strip of Whisper White card stock. I then matted the sentiment strip on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock.

The adorable stocking is colored in with our Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade. The top of the stocking is stamped with Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo,

I die cut two stars from Gold Foil paper using the Stitched Stars die and added some bling with the Holiday Rhinestones.

I love how clean and fresh this Christmas Card feels!
