Hello everyone! It's October 1st today! WOW!!! Would someone please tell me where this year has gone? I mean seriously, was it just February yesterday???? It sure feels that way! But here we are in October and it's not a bit too early to begin to think about Christmas cards! I thought this week's Stamping 411 Sketch was perfect for this simple, yet cute, Christmas card!
I used Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Paper, Winter Wishes Stitched Felt (perfect for a quick accent), 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon in Garden Green, the Big Shot and the Ovals Die, Stampin' Dimensionals, and the Scallop Oval Punch for this fun and festive card. It all went together super quick, which is even better! The stamp set is Cute & Curly, stamped in Garden Green ink.
There's not a lot more to say about this one. I dont' think I even need to give you measurements this week since there are so few layers. You will, however, want to check out the other fabulous projects created by the Stamping 411 Operators. As always, they never cease to amaze and inspire!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I do hope you'll be back soon for more ideas and inspiration! I'll look forward to it!
There is a whole lot of cuteness on this card...from the stripped paper to the little mittens to the scallop edges. Love it!

Such an awesome CAS card! Love the felt mittens as the perfect accessory and that candy cane stripe is wonderful w/ the green accent color!
