Happy Monday! It's time for another Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge! Here is my sample for this week:
Check out this week's sketch:
I have been totally in the Christmas mood the last few weeks as I have been finishing up my projects I created for a craft fair I had on Saturday. Festival of Trees stamp set was an immediate love for me as soon as I saw it and I didn't wait to order it or the coordinating tree punch. Even better - it's photopolymer!!! Using photopolymer stamps is great when 2-step stamping is involved.
Pistachio Pudding is not a color I would have thought about using on a Christmas card but it was a color on the paper I used from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack.
- Card base is Pistachio Pudding followed by a pattern from Trim the Tree DSP Stack
- I cut a strip of Early Espresso card stock and added Venetian Crochet Trim above and below the card stock as indicated in the sketch
- I stamped a tree with Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock and stamped a Real Red tree base (love those photopolymers!) and cut out image with Oval Framelits. Then I cut a larger oval from the Red Glimmer Paper for matting and mounted with dimensionals
- I made a banner from Pistachio Pudding card stock and stamped a message from the Festival of Trees stamp set and used dimensionals only at ends of banner
- I stamped the tree with Garden Green ink and punched out using the Tree Punch. I cut off the trunk and mounted the tree with dimensionals and punched a star from Silver Glimmer Paper and attached with Green Glue to top of tree.
Something about Christmas cards makes me want to "go all out" and decorate the inside too - something I wish I always did more often!
What do you think? Nothing fancy but that little touch can really make the difference!

A really cute card, I love the ribbon you used for the scallops. Just darling, not sure why I didn't jump on this set when I first seen it, talked myself right out of it and now it is a bit late for me to be ordering it. This card makes me wish I had it though. Thanks so much for all the awesome samples for my sketch challenge each week--you are so talented!
