Welcome, welcome to our hop! You are going to see some very creative projects to day from our talented team. We have a sketch challenge today.

Notice the sketch? I pulled out the Christmas Classics bundle and found an already die cut image from the Holographic Trio pack of papers – and that inspired me to move forward. The Holographic die cut is Starry Sky. To coordinate with this, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Color Coach and it mentioned Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green – I liked it! I stamped the NOEL using the Joy Of Noel stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink on a Basic White card piece. I added Adhesive Strips to the back of the central die cut in Holographic paper, just along the inside edge, and adhered the stamped Basic White panel to it. I set this aside while I worked on the card base: Blueberry Bushel with a layer slight smaller run through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. With these two layered together, I adhered the Holographic piece, centering it on the card front. I die cut a pine bough using the Christmas Classics Dies in Granny Apple Green and it was too plain. I began looking around my stash and found the Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP had a piece that was Parakeet Party and had a very light pattern in the design. I die cut another pine bough from it and adhered it to the Granny Apple Green die cut for strengh, then added it to the Holographic die cut with glue dots. I felt the card needed more texture so pulled out the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack, tied a bow with the Parakeet Party ribbon and added it with a glue dot to the bottom of the pine bough. For me, that was perfect!

For the inside of the card… a pine bough stamp from the Christmas Classics stamp set, this time in Granny Apple Green ink; then a sentiment stamp in the same set, stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink. This Basic White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, remember that Parakeet Party pattern from Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP? That’s on the flap & trimmed to fit. The pine bough was again stamped on the envelope front in Granny Apple Green. Love this pine bough!!! And the card was complete.

Now – time to travel around to visit all the hoopers for this weeks sketch challenge. Enjoy! Click on the ‘next’ button or a name to take you visiting the others. Have fun!
