Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #598: Christmas Friends

Good morning,

Today I'm sharing 2 cards since I miscalculated the date for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge and thought it fell on next week, oops!  So today's card has this cute moose from the Christmas Friends stamp set and some fun embellishments from the 2024 Holiday catalog that have sold out a few times already.

For this card the cardbase is Lemon Lime Twist and then I added Basic White cardstock as the cardfront.

To this I cut lots of strips from the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper and cut them into banners before attaching them to the cardfront to make this banner effect.  Once that was complete I added a piece of Real Red cardstock along the top (helped hide all the tops of the banners) and was a perfect place for the greeting.

I stamped the moose in Momento Black ink on Basic White, colored him in with Stampin' Blends and then cut him out with the coordinating dies.  He's matted on a circle cut out of Garden Green cardstock.  The perfect finishing touch was a few Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints (maybe my favorite embellishment from the Holiday catalog!)

The colors, patterns, and moose are so fun and playful I can't wait to send him to a special friend for the holidays.  

Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration.  We would love for you to play along and share what you create using this sketch.
