Anthony's Paper Craft "Christmas In August" Blog Hop - Celebrate The Season Card

Hello everyone!!  Thank you so much for making last week's blog hop with the Anthony's Paper Craft Design Team such a success.  Once again I have teamed up with Debra, Mike, and Mary Kay for week two of the Anthony's Paper Craft "Christmas in August" blog hop.

This week I wanted to make a Christmas card - but not a typical Christmas card.  I went through my stash of stamps and pulled out a set that is really for birthdays or parties, I knew that it would be perfect for my "not your typical Christmas card" idea.    

I started with my card base to which I adhered one of the designer papers from the Twas The Night Before Christmas pad (Echo Park).  Then I die cut a piece of textured red cardstock with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Layers (Memory Box) and adhered that to the card front. 

Next, I stamped the wrapping paper with ribbons image from the Celebrate Set 1 on to a piece of white cardstock.  Then I stamped the phrase "Celebrate the Season" from Christmas Sentiments 1 under the image. Note: there is another image in the set, wrapped presents, that would also work perfectly!  I then die cut the image using the 2nd to largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Layers (Memory Box).

I colored in the image using a variety of BIC Ultra Fine Tip markers, adhered it to the card front on top of the red cardstock, and, lastly, adhered some Stickles over each of the ribbons - Firefly, Christmas Red, True Blue, and Gold.  

I love this stamp set.  Perfect for birthdays, parties, invitations and, now, Christmas!!  I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Please feel free to leave a comment below and let me know what you think of the card.
