Christmas Blends
Since Stampin’ Blends are now available for everyone to purchase, I thought I would share a card that was inspired by one shared by Kelly Kent recently. I was immediately struck by the idea that it would make a lovely Christmas card. The card uses the Colour Me Happy stamp set which is not really a Christmas stamp set. I embossed Cherry Cobbler card using the Holly Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Thick Whisper White card. I stamped the “string” across the top left hand corner of Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 
I stamped both the lanterns using the same ink and also using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the placement perfect. I coloured two of the lanterns using the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and the centre lantern using Old Olive Blends. I also used the colour lifter to add a little more lightness to the lanterns. I attached a piece of the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper behind the stamped Whisper White panel before attaching to the card front. I stamped “merry Christmas” from the Merry Patterns stamp set onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink. I used the Classic Label Punch to cut out the greeting. 
To create a mat for the greeting, I attached the stamped Whisper White card to Old Olive card and trimmed the ends to match the shape of the punched greeting.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the same images across the top left hand corner of Whisper White card. The images are coloured using the same Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
I so love this card and can’t thank Kelly enough for her inspiration, and thank you Stampin’ Up! for creating these fabulous Stampin’ Blends.
Bye for now,
