Splashy with a touch of whimsy! Today’s card was inspired by a new Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA184) by Margaret Moody.

Mark your calendar! The Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog begins Jan. 3 and Sale-A-Bration (a FREE gift with every $50 you spend in product) begins Jan. 28.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- OCCASIONS SNEAK PEEK: Giddyap! I used our new Silver Baker’s Twine (I previously shared the Gold Baker’s Twine with you on this project) to lasso the star. Occasions Catalog products are available for purchase Jan. 3.
- OCCASIONS SNEAK PEEK: Both the star and “make a wish” sentiment are from Perfect Pennants stamp set.
- The “make a wish” sentiment comes to life using the 1/2″ circle punch and Bitty Banners Framelits for the real red banner. Everything fit perfectly within the sentiment!
- OCCASIONS SNEAK PEEK: Stampin’ Up! will be offering Banners Framelits Dies to coordinate with the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set. Creating and layering banners is easier than ever! I’ll bet you can’t wait for Jan. 3!
- OCCASIONS SNEAK PEEK: In shades of Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Real Red and Whisper White, the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack has an especially strong chance of showing up on your wish list! You get 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided designs, measuring 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″. Ideal for card fronts! I especially love the bold stripe and lively polka dot used on today’s card and envelope combination.

Thanks for the inspiration, Mary. I am aiming for that star!
Fun color combination and it really does add a bit of whimsy!
Mary I love your take on the sketch. And, I love the western look that the bakers twine gives this card.
I am cheating a bit, cannot add much to the other comments…other than Merry Christmas and thank you for your continued inspiration!
Love the bold banner with the colored accents! And I,have that twine on order I do believe….love it!
Just love this, Mary! That polka dot background provides a gorgeous background and the lassoed star is so clever!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I am continually amazed at your creativity! Each day is truly new!
Oooo, pretty love it and that new twine I’m getting soon , love that star too ,

I am inspired by the smallest things sometimes, and this time it’s the piece of Baker’s Twine. Do you realize how closely it resembles a lariat? My in-laws would love that little touch …. so I’m thinking about making some gift tags. If I have time! (Checking my punch inventory quickly …)
Reminds me of “It’s a Wonderful Life”- I think they may have lassoed the moon, but the card is really adorable and brought back memories of that classic movie. Thanks for all your inspiration you have provided to me over the years! Merry Christmas to your family.
Hi Mary.
Just wondering how you made the star?
I love this card and am definitely going to case it!
I love reading your comments. They keep me motivated and energized! Thanks!
I’m loving all the sneak peeks at what’s coming soon in the new catty, the Baker’s Twine both in silver and gold is so pretty. This card is really awesome Mary, love the colors and the sweet message fabulously represented by that lassoed star. Thank you for all the great ideas for the upcoming products.
