Here I am once again with my version of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #595. This sketch was created by Michelle and digitized by Brandi.

Since I'm trying to get my stash of Christmas cards built up I'm doing a Christmas theme for my focal point. 
This was such a fun card to make. Nothing in this card is current. The stamp set and designer papers are all part of my stash that I'm trying to use. I love the Christmas Scottie stamp set and coordinating punch, and probably will never part with them, as this is one of my most loved Christmas bundles.
As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I'm obligated in my agreement to use what's called the "Angel Policy" when creating cards. It's really easy to add the Stampin' Up! logo and my brand when using light coloured cardstock, however when using black as a cardbase, or some other dark neutral, it's almost impossible to see this information.
To resolve this problem I came up with a simple solution, that not only looks good, but is easy to do.
Voila, problem solved by simply stamping on a neutral cardstock and cutting out a tag or die that holds the information. I usually add my small Stampin' Up! logo stamp as well, so that it conforms with the Angel Policy.
