It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas these days! I was really looking forward to making some holiday cards. And what better way than to blast into the past with Taylor & friends! The focus for this month's BFTP was Christmas/Holiday. You can never be too early!
For today's card I knew exactly which stamp I was going to ink up - one of my all time favorite Cuppie images from the Season's Sweetings set. Doesn't she look all festive and ready to greet her holiday visitors? LOL!
I had just received my latest order from Die Cuts R Usand had this luscious red bakers twine sitting out on my desk and decided I had to use it. It's not often I use an embellishment to design my card, but this stuff is yummy! I happened to also have ordered a sampler pack of Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly and thought it would be the perfect companion for my card. I left the bottom parts of my twine unattached to make it look like I wrapped up my card.
I really love participating in Taylor's Blast from the Past blog hops. It helps me to play with older sets I still love, but have neglected for newer stuff. You know what I'm talking about, right? *grin*
And as an added bonus Taylor & her gals always have an optional sketch for inspiration. Sankari did it again with this gem.
Want to see what the other participants whipped up?
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy this month's Blast from the Past blog hop!
How festive! love the cuppie all dressed up in the pretty papers!
