Happy Thursday! It’s time for our weekly Thursday blog hop. This week’s challenge is a theme challenge. The theme is Christmas!

Here is the card I made for this theme challenge:

This was a fun card to make. I used many of the products in the Traditions of Christmas Suite. I also used the Party Alphabet Dies and the Branching Out Dies.
The cardbase is Cherry Cobbler cardstock, cut at 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″, & scored at 4-1/4″. The next panel is from the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper, cut at 5-1/4 x 4″. From the same DSP, I used the dotted Cherry Cobbler pattern and cut it with the largest die from the Branching Out Dies. Both of these panels were glued on. Next, I cut the letters. J, O, Y out of Gold Foil Sheets with the Party Alphabet Dies. I glued these on as well. Then I used a die from the Christmas Greenery Dies to cut out the bouquet of poinsettas from the DSP (see pic below). I trimmed off the bottom where the bow is. I added the flower image centered over the letter “O” with dimensionals. The final touch was to add some Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment “Sending Love & Joy” in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The sentiment is from the Traditional Labels stamp set, also part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite. I stamped the leaves from Christmas Greenery stamp set in Old Olive ink. I added a small strip of the same DSP for decoration.

This Suite makes such beautiful Christmas cards, I have really been enjoying using this one! If you have any questions about this card or any of your stamping needs, please reach out to me at nicole@thesigningstamper.com, I would love to help you! ๐ค
