Hi Stampers, Today for our hop our theme is “PLAID” What a better paper to use than the wonderful Plaid Tidings DSP (it is on sale now too!) I paired it up the the Joyful Holly stamp set. The combination was fun and this card was oh so fast and easy! This card will be a great one to make several to give out during the holidays.
The theme:
Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly and Plaid Tidings:
The recipe:
Card base: Cherry Cobbler 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

Art piece: 3-Whisper White 3-3/8 x 4-1/8
Sentiment: Cherry Cobbler 7/8 x approx. 3-1/4 punched with the Triple Banner Punch
The details:
- Stamp the 2 holly outline images from the Joyful Holly stamp set onto the left hand side of the art piece with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink
- Stamp the solid holly image from the Joyful Holly stamp set to fill in the holly leaves using Shaded Spruce Ink
- Stamp the holly berries from the Joyful Holly stamp set using Cherry Cobbler Ink
- Emboss the art piece with the Subtle Embossing Folder
- Glue your art piece onto the other two pieces of 3-3/8 x 4-1/8 Whisper White card stock
The sentiment:
- Stamp your sentiment using the greeting from the Joyful Holly stamp set with Versa Mark Ink
- Heat emboss with White Emboss Powder
Putting the card together:
