The Stampin’ Up! Joy of Christmas suite (Including the Christmas Classics Bundle) leaped straight to the list of My Favorite Things from the Holiday Catalog. The coordination is impeccable and the fonts, shapes, patterns and colors are a paper crafter’s dream.
WHAT I LOVE ! I adore a die that does the work for you. The label die from the Christmas Classics Bundle cuts both a rectangle and perfectly placed florals in one ride through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The die cut florals were my “road map” for adding more die cuts (same die collection) for a plush, floral look. The die I used to crop the “Christmas Wishes” sentiment tucks neatly inside the label die. Easy and such fun!
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s thank you card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #75 which I shared Tuesday!

I love this card! Where did you use the Real Red cardstock embosssd layer, 3 1/2x 4 :3/4?
The Real Red sizing is an error, sorry! It should just say scraps. Real Red Card Stock was only used for the berries.
Mary Fish, you are one of the best, artistic and consistent demos I know of! Thanks!
Gorgeous card with your sketch. I love the Classic Christmas bundle and the color combination you chose. Enjoy your day!
