So I wanted to start my 12 day series with this beautiful card - mostly because of the awesome sentiment on the front of the card - "friends make the season shine" - I just love this. What a reminder of what is so important during this time of the year - friends, family, love, caring! Feeling so blessed. This card is made with a super fun suite from SU's Holiday Catalog - Making Christmas Bright.
It has a Cherry Cobbler Base and the green layers are Shaded Spruce. I especially love the Gold Foil strips (this paper is in SU's Annual Catalog) and I'm not sure if you can see it well - but I have some of that fun Gold Metallic thread from the Annual Catalog peeking out from behind my raised sentiment. This is a clean and simple card - the focal point is that beautiful strip of DSP from the "All is Bright" DSP collection; and of course that wonderful sentiment. You can see I also stamped it on the envelope as I am NOT a fan of naked envelopes. NOTE: The DSP is on the year-end closeout for retiring items, while supplies last - so if you love it like I do - be sure to go to www.stampingwithmaureen.stampinup.net and click SHOP NOW to order yours before it's gone for good!
Here is the inside of the card - all stamps from that same Making Christmas Bright stamp set. Stamped with Shaded Spruce, and the stars with Daffodil Delight.
Thanks for stopping by - be sure you subscribe to my blog, comment on this post, and share this post on Facebook with a tag to @Maureen Rauchfuss - one entry each and ever time you do any of these. One comment per post please. Good luck!! ~Maureen
