Today’s Christmas Card is simple, colorful and highlights the year round possibilities of the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden bundle and suite. I used both the Modern Garden Stamp Set (sentiment) and the Modern Oval Punch, which is a MUST-HAVE for quickly cropping shapes and sentiments. The Modern Garden suite is on the list of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog
WHAT I LOVE! The coordinating patterns of the Garden Walk Designer Series paper are colorful, stylish and versatile. I adore the poinsettia pattern for today’s Christmas card.
The gorgeous combination of Poppy Parade, Wild Wheat, and Pretty Peacock was shared on my Tuesday post along with other color combos here.

I LOVE this card! My problem is I make 50-70 cards and would need to buy 10 GARDEN WALK DSP packets. Any suggestions?☺️
While this pattern clearly has the poinsettia, the rich colors of some of the other patterns would absolutely work for Christmas, too. Mary
Beautiful layering! Such a stunning card, Mary!
Thanks, B.K. Mary
