It's the start of the another week, can you tell me where that weekend went? We had a great time in Annapolis checking out the city and my friend and I ran the Across the Bridge 10K run over the Bay Bridge it was a beautiful race that a lot of runners got to enjoy!) It's the second Monday of the month which mean's over on the
Stampin' Stylin' INKspiration blog it's time for the monthly card sketch challenge. Bree gave us another fun layout and the designers really out did themselves with great inspiration ideas. I decided to combine this challenge with my 30-Day Gratitude card challenge (I'm doing that a lot this month) and decided to use some Christmas products that are new and haven't seen a lot of love yet.
The cardbase is Garden Green and I added a piece of DSP from the
Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (love all the different colors and patterns in this pack which means lots of fun!) Next I added a piece of
Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon that was attached to the cardfront with
Sticky Strip so I could get the ruffled effect. For the stamped image I used the new
Many Merry Stars stamp set from the Holiday Supplement (products in this mini catalog are only available while supplies last) and the medium star was stamped with Garden Green ink on Pistachio Pudding cardstock before being cut out with the
Big Shot and
Star Collection Framelits. I stamped the filler star inside with Pistachio Pudding ink. The greeting is from the
Something to Say stamp set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I attached the star to the cardfront using
dimensionals (I actually stacked dimensionals to get extra height to reach over the ribbon). I used some
Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine to tie a bow for the top of the star and attached it with a glue dot. For a little touch of bling I punched a small star out of
Gold Foil Paper using the star punch from the
Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and attached it to the cardfront .
I love how each element of this card turned out. Make sure to check out all the other cards the design team is sharing and then come play along with us.
Below are easy ordering links for all the products used on today's card:
I hope you enjoy and remember, it's never too early to start working on your holiday projects (it'll help you not feel as stressed as the holidays approach so you can enjoy this special time).

This is so pretty. Love how you did the ribbon for a different take on the zig zags in the sketch!!
