More Card Challenges

This week, I decided to participate in the Friday Mash Up card challenge, which has a really fun Christmas-themed project. To make it more interesting, I also decided to do the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. So I took the layout from FMS and combined it with the theme of the Friday Mash Up, and here's what I came up with! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and I LOVE the thin Old Olive ribbon (1/8" taffeta ribbon from Stampin' Up!).


Card Details
Stamp Sets: Ornament Keepsakes, Greetings of the Season
Cardstock: Crumb Cake (base), Old Olive (ornament), "Be of Good Cheer" Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Ink: Versamark (with silver embossing powder), Soft Suede
Ribbon: 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (Old Olive)

Again, this was for Freshly Made Sketches FMS #57 and the "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" challenge from Friday Mash up. What do you guys think?

  6. Thanks, everyone! I was really pleased with this card, so I'm glad to see other people like it too!

    And Jen -- you still can order the greetings stamp set! It's in Stampin' Up!'s holiday catalog. (I'm working on getting a PDF of it up on my sidebar, with the annual catalog.)
