Merry & Bright

 This is week #2 of Art Impression's "Making Spirits Bright" challenge.  I don't know about you but my spirits are brightened whenever I receive a handmade card/tag/gift.  I enjoy receiving as much as I enjoy making them.  What happened to the old days where we use to make Xmas gifts vs. bought?  So much more special and meaningful.  I vote to go back to the old ways!  

 

 For this challenge, I decided to make a shape card using the Art Impressions Holly Jolly stamp set.  These little snowmen are so darn cute!  To make the shape card, I used a large shape die that I had in my stash and just scored it in half to make my base.  I then used the next die in that pack and layered on top of the other to make the base layers.  Such a fun way to use your dies and create a cute card.  

 I stamped the image on cryogen white cardstock and colored with my copic markers.  I framed the image with another die from the shaped nesting die set.  The sentiment is from the same Holly Jolly stamp set and I used the smallest die from the Art Impressions double stitch rectangle die.  The flag banners were cut from the Art Impressions flag double stitch die set.

Hope my card gets you in the crafty mode.  

Enjoy your day.
