I know that we have all seen so many incredible Holiday Cards this season….but I just had to share this with you! I love the "formula" of it and it is a card that I made for my Dad to send to his friends! I hope that you enjoy this "merry" card!
I was lovin' today's Pals Paper Art Challenge and I hope that you can give it a try….I have turned it around a bit and I love the end result! Here is the sketch…have fun and I hope you play this week!!
This is my take on this …..I adore the Mossy Meadow for Christmas…I kind of feel sorry for Always Artichoke as that was my prior "go to" Holiday green.
The base is an A-2 card card in Very Vanilla and then the fun dots are just a 1/4" smaller….what a FUN backdrop! Whenever I can find a way to use the DSP Paper Stacks I will. They are always great as you know your colors will always match!
Seasonally Scatter has been a favorite for many of you…and I must say – I hope that Stampin' Up! carries this stamp set over for next year! After stampin' the "merry" – all that was needed were some simple dots around the edge.
Can you see that I adhered the 2 colors together and then ran it through the Big Shot with the FUN polka Dot Folder before popping it up wth dimensionals! I used sticky strip to hold the 2 papers together….so fast and easy!
I think that we all know this…Stampin' Up! has the best ribbon……I first adhere a simple piece of ribbon and then added a simple knot with a glue dot to do the trick!
The envelope….I took a piece of solid Mossy Meadow and then ran it though the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Folder…PRESTO – instant fun!
When you break this card down….it is super simple, classic and very easy. It can easily be adapted for so many different occasions.
Please pop by the Pals Paper Art website to see what the other Design Artist came up with…the ideas and inspiration are endless!

Really pretty – I especially like what you’ve done with the envelope.

Perfect in every way! Lovin’ the Mossy Meadow and white and all those dots!
A very lovely card. I’m sure your father and friends will love it. It’s festive enough and very tasteful for a gentleman to send. You did an excellent job on this one, Susan!
LOVE this card!!! Very clasy and a perfect masculine Christmas card! TYFS
You adore our comments – well, I adore this card! Wowzers, this is a ME card if I have ever seen one. This is like I used to do with layers a lot complete with polka dots! The green is a given for mr! Did I ever tell you when we bought our house it is dark green and we just happen to have a dark green pick up and a dark green Camry. Our next door neighbor asked us finally if we had planned it that our house matches our vehicles? Then, when we bought another car, Mike was trying to figure out why we didn’t need to buy one that day. Finally, he grinned and said we have to have a dark green one to match our house. Would you believe they had one dark green Camry in the back?
I needed to make a few more cards tonight and guess what I am going with? This is it! This is so wonderful – I can cut layers, emboss, and assemble them. I need a purple card and I think I will do the same with the the blackberry bliss! Totally in love with this!
Looking forward to tomorrow’s parade of swap cards. Oh why or why did I make that dumb one when I could have tried this tried and true one! Oh well!
Lovin’ all that green Susan. Fabulous card!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Wow! The Mossy Meadow made a great masculine card for your dad to send! I love the “merry” stamped image too!
a day late, but love the card! Best green going!
