Festive Banners

Big news - Leo has a tooth! We have had some bad nights of little sleep, but we now know why - a wee tooth! It's his front left bottom tooth. Poor monkey.

Here's my second Christmas card for August.

It's inspired by a card by Kristina Werner, just Christmas'd up! I used a Cherry Cobbler card base, with Very Vanilla and Gumball Green. The colour combination came from the DSP, Be of Good Cheer, as did all the bannery bits. I used some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details and Linen Thread knots (just stuck on with Mono Multi!) to put the finishing touches on it. Finally, the sentiment comes from Chock-full of Cheer.

I really like the Be of Good Cheer paper. Because it only has three colours, it is super easy to coordinate with. It's also an excellent choice if you're new to Stampin' Up as there isn't a huge amount of outlay to get all you need to make tonnes of Christmas cards!

  2. Congrats on the tooth, little man. Poor guy, those are never fun in the process.

    I love this card! I keep eyeing this DSP and love the way you used it. I follow KW and didn't recognize the design so you did a great job of making it your own. :)
