Hello friends! I'm back with another card today, this time for the challenge at Just Us Girls, where it is word week and Sue has chosen a most appropriate work for this time of year.
If you dropped by looking for my Color Hues DT card, you can find it here.
When I received the Simon Says Stamp November card kit, it had in it some darling decoupage images from Craft Consortium. I'd never used them before, typically preferring to stamp and color myself, but these are soooo cute, I couldn't resist.
There are five scenes included in the pack, and you pop out the images and layer them up with foam squares. Each one was four or five layers, which I thought was too thick to mail, so I sorted the images for this particular scene so that I could make two cards from it. In the photo above you can see the layers from the front snowman and the lantern.
I found the perfect patterned paper for the background. It was die cut to fit on the largest of SSS's Chunky Scallop rectangle, then the snow people were added. Isn't that the cutest little scene? I especially love the birds. Before adhering the panel to the scallop rectangle, the large joy sentiment was die cut from red metallic paper, added to the panel, then the sub-sentiment stamped in black. I decided to go ahead and make this a shaped card using the scallop rectangle die. This was a fun and quick way to create some holiday cards.
Thanks for taking time to stop by. Take care!

Those darling snowpeople bring my heart joy! What a sweet card, Stef. Thanks for playing along at Just Us Girls this week!
OK Stef.... when I finish typing, I am checking out those decoupage images. How cute! and easy! Perfect for quickie Xmas cards. My Christmas stash is winnowing down so I am going to have to be extra vigilant about making cards next year. Love this idea... and you don't even have to fussy cut! You are introducing me to so much fun stuff!
AND thank you for sharing with Just Us Girls!
