Sending Joy


Here's my card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. This week Heather has a sketch for us to use to make our cards. I made a masculine Christmas card, using monochromatic tones. The dsp is from SU! while the cardstock is a combination of Prism papers and PTI cardstock. The sentiment is from SU! endless wishes - which was back-ordered, re-stocked, and then completely sold out and retired! I'm glad I got mine when it was available!

I used a CB swiss dots ef for the larger banner, and a paper crimper for the smaller one. The horizontal border was done with a SimonSaysStamp pinpoint border die. I cut a piece in each color, and swapped out the pieces for some color fun. The deer is a die from Memory Box and I added some red gemstones to the nose and sentiment panel just for fun.

Wishing you a great Friday - thanks for stopping by today!

I adore all the elements you use to put together this great card. I just did some crimping last night, so i smiled when I saw you did some today also. Wonderful job on this one Carol.

Awesome card, Carol. I love the deer...just got that die and haven't used it yet. How cute to dot your "j" with the gemstone. Wonderful card for a guy.

I am not sure how I fall so behind on commenting, but I am getting real good at it. This reindeer looks so cool for the focus of the SSS sketch. Good job, Carol.
