Hi Stampers, Today for our blog hop we have a sketch challenge.  I am trying to use all of my wonderful holiday DSP for an assortment of Christmas card and wanted to try using Trimming the Town today.  Now, I don’t have the stamp set or dies that coordinate with the paper and had to get creative. I came up with a plan which was fun to do and made a fast card  from the  paper!

The sketch:

Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season:

The recipe:

Card base:  Misty Moonlight 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Mat: Real Red 4 x 5-1/4

DSP: Trimming the Town 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

Banner: Misty Moonlight 2 x 5-1/8 Embossed with Greenery EF and Punched with the Banner Triple Punch

Scallop Rectangle mat: Real Red Die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Art piece: Whisper White 2-3/16 x 3-3/8

The details:

• Fussy cut the two houses from the Trimming the Town DSP
• Fussy cut the two trees from the Trimming the Town DSP

The sentiment:

• Stamp your sentiment onto the Whisper White art piece with Tuxedo Black Memento ink using the saying from Itty Bitty Christmas
• Mount your art piece onto the Real Red Stitched So Sweetly mat

Putting the card together:

• Adhere your Trimming the Town DSP to the Real Red mat
• Wrap a piece of Real Red All The Trimming ribbon  around the matted DSP panel
• Adhere this panel to the Misty Moonlight Card base with Dimensionals
• Adhere your embossed Misty Moonlight banner to the right side of the card front
• Attach your Real Red matted art piece on top of the banner with Dimensionala
• Adhere your blue house with glue dots to the Whisper White matted art piece
• Attach the red house with Dimensionals next to the blue house
• Tuck in the large green tree behind the red house with glue dots
• Adhere your small green tree to the left side of the red house with Dimensionals

Finishing touches:

• Adhere a All the Trimming Real Red bow to the left of the art piece (on top of the ribbon  wrap)
• Add a Gold Jingle Bell to the bow and you are done.
