Hello and welcome to my happy place, where I love to show you my creative side and new projects. Today I'm once again focusing on current stamp sets from Stampin' Ups! Holiday Mini Catalogue.
My first card is an "Easel Card". I haven't made this one for a while, but when I watched a video by Connie Stewart on Yutube earlier this week, she made one using the Christmas Scottie, one of my favourite stamps this season and her rendition inspired my card.The Christmas Scottie Bundle includes the stamp set and the Christmas Scottie Dog Punch. |
Here's My Card:
This is the front of the card when it is closed. The center panel is the easel portion. |
Here you can see the Scottie on the bottom acts as the anchor for the easel mechanism. |
This is the inside of the card. I love the ribbon stamp in this set. |

I added Dazzling Diamonds to the fur part of the caroler's Santa hats and to the snow on the ground. |
