Julie's Creative Stamping: Quick and Easy Christmas Card "Wrapped In Christmas"

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I was inspired for the design on this card by a card I saw on Esty by Richard Thomas. He used Gold foil and the Diamonds embossing folder. When I saw it I immediately though of our Balmy Blue Glitter paper and redid it using a few different items. I used the "Wrapped In Christmas" and "Christmas Mean More" Stamp sets all by Stampin UP®. Instead of the Diamonds Embossing Folder I used the "Winter Snow" embossing folder. Add in the "Pine Woods Dies" and your ready! I also used the Balmy Blue Stampin Blends and colored in the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon.

I hope you like this version of the card! Please don't forget to leave me a comment below! Also please follow me by adding your email to the right so that you will be notified each time I post a new card on my blog!

Layer 3 - Stamp the sentiment from the "Wrapped In Christmas" stamp set in Balmy Blue ink then trim the ends into a banner. Adhere to the card front as shown using Mini Glue dots and push ends in so that the banner curves up!
Using the Dark Balmy Blue stampin blend color in the Snowflake ribbon then tie a bow and apply with a glue dot to the upper left corner of Layer 1.
For the inside I stamped the sentiment from "Christmas Means More" stamp set in Balmy Blue
