As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I was going to be using Clear & Simple Stamps Toppers dies and Toppers Fillers stamp set. It was just a matter of how. I liked the idea of having a flap on the card, so I folded the shape along the score line and stamped the fun chevron print for a background. I used the limited edition Joy stamps and die to finish the flap off on the inside and outside. A little glitter tape, bling, and sequins and you have a super fun Christmas card. What do you think?
Today is a busy day for our family. It's the annual Norwegian Supper at our church...off da! ;) My husband is the potato maestro and will be slaving over the hot stove to get the potatoes out to hungry diners. I usually help in the prep for the supper by making lefse, krumkake, and spritz cookies. It truly is an amazing event but you can keep the Lutefisk and just pass me the meatballs! ;)
We are finishing up our packing today because tomorrow we leave for NY to visit my parents and family for Thanksgiving. I'm actually looking forward to the drive...yes, I'm weird. The boys are SO excited to see grandma and grandpa. It's going to be a blast!
Hope you are inspired to come play along with us at CAS(E) this Sketch. We'd love to have you!
Oh.... how I love everything about this card! Perfect! Wish that I had the Toppers dies and stamps.
ReplyDeleteOh! love that topper piece - haven't seen those yet (oh, oh something else I need!) so bright and fun with the sequins - sounds like you are have fun family times!
ReplyDeleteOH! That is SOOOOO cool, Chrissy! I had no idea it had a flap on it! Now I'm going to have to CASE this! Love it...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card Chrissy! I love that you included the sentiment inside the top card panel :) Oh....and Enjoy your drive.
ReplyDeleteTotally nailed it Chrissy!! Have a fab time in NY
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! What a funny idea to create the flap on the front of the card. GREAT!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip to NY! I love how your card opens up for the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteLefse! Yay! My family works together before Thanksgiving and before Christmas to make batches of lefse - even at 17 and 13 my boys look forward to making, then eating, the lefse! Mostly they love ending up covered in flour! And I agree with you, avoid the lutefisk!
ReplyDeleteI love your cheerful card - the chevron print flap is such a festive touch!
Adorable card! Love the interactive piece!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun that the front lifts up like that! Fabulous take on the sketch, Chrissy!
