This week at Jingle Belles we're celebrating the Stars and/or Stripes with our cards.
I started with scraps of striped paper from PhotoPlay's Not a Creature was Stirring that were filled with stripes and built my slimline card using other paper scraps and a collection of striped (I call plaid a stripe) washi tape.
I added one of the images from the same collection (which sneaks in some stars) and finished with some sequins and a stamped sentiment from Impress Holiday Word Set (did you ever think about Santa decorating his own Christmas tree?).
Layout is the flipped Sunday Stamps Sketch.
We're also teaming-up with the Double Trouble Challenge where they're doing Christmas in July, so there is double the fun. We've got a fun prize for one participant as well, so come join the fun.
Love the various patterns you used for the background – super cute slimline card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble 🙂
So fun, Stef – I LOVE all these festive papers! I always imagined Santa got elves to do his tree, but now I think not, lol. This makes me smile! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
What great Christmas papers, all put together perfectly for the sketch and our challenge at Double Trouble. Love that Santa decorating the tree too, so cute! Thanks for joining us at Double Trouble.
Using a variety of patterned papers and washi tape is a great way to pull in your stars and stripes and fill in a slimline background… and love Santa decorating his tree. Nice selection of scraps. And I was wondering about plaids, I see stripes in them too… in fact I had asked my daughter if she thought they counted as stripes and she said no… I’ll have to tell her it’s okay… lol. Thanks for sharing your DT card with us at Double Trouble.
Nope, never thought about Santa decorating his own tree but I’m sure glad you did! What a fun card Steph – the series of washi and paper strips is simply fabulous. Thanks so much for joining us at Sunday Stamps!
What a fun Christmas card!! Thanks for playing along with us over at Sunday Stamps. Your scraps and washi tape work perfectly for our “Going Slim” sketch challenge….I love the festive feel you create with this card. -Deb Horst, DT #SOS312
