For my stop on the hop, I’m sharing this sweet card I created using items from this amazing release!
This card features one of the adorable images from the Jolly Christmas stamp set, along with the new Fluted Forest Décor embossing folder. I stamped the little bird on the mailbox image with Memento ink and colored it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut out the image since my dies had not arrived in time for the hop but it was a really easy image to cut.
I die cut a circle from a panel of white card stock and placed it over another panel that I had embossed with embossing folder. I just love the white-on-white dimensional look!
I die cut and ink blended a bit of holiday foliage and placed it in a swag pattern at the bottom of the die cut circle.
I used foam adhesive to pop my bird and mailbox image up on top of the foliage and embossed background.
I decided not to add a sentiment to the front of this card because I really loved the clean and simple look but I did add some Stickles to the snow on the mailbox and on the ground just for a bit of a sparkle.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today and for joining in on our Hop! If you’re following along in order, your next stop will be Carly Minner and I know you won’t want to miss it! The full list of blogs on the hop today are:

Thank you so much! You are very kind!
No sentiment needed, Jean! Love this sweet image with your fantastic coloring and the embossing peeking through the die cut circle makes a perfect background!
Thank you!
The image itself is cute, but the idea of embossing a panel to put behind your circle die cut is something I’ll try to remember to use in other cards. What a good idea. Thank you.
Thank you! I love the added dimension it gives.
Such a sweet fun card!
Thank you!
I was reading your bio about organizing. I’m all for that. Then I got lost when it came to the art part of color. Clearly your card shows you know what you’re doing. It’s very pretty. I do love coloring and one day I might try and understand about lights and shadows, etc.
Oh fun! I always wonder if people read that! I just make things that look good to me – usually with ample white space, harmonious colors, and lots of dimension! I should update my bio to say that!
This is so sweet
Very pretty card! Elegant and cute
Thank you!
