My holiday paper crafting marathon continues and I PLAY FAVORITES! Season of Friendship stamp set is one of my all time favorite Stampin' Up! stamp sets. If you use the "search blog" tool on my left side bar and insert "season of  friendship," you'll see many of my most popular cards.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up pals paper arts basic rhinestone jewels button Simple punched circles (3/4") give this holiday card a modern twist.
  • The pattern on the bird is a combination of VersaMark and the Punch Potpourri stamp set (Hostess Level 1)
  • I popped out a Rich Razzleberry 1/2" circle (fits perfectly in the Big Designer Button) and layered a pattern of Basic Rhinestone jewels on top.
  • A lone rhinestone dots the bird's wing and plays up the sparkle of the button.
