This past week I was together for a stamping day with some of my Stamp Club ladies.  We worked on whatever cards we wanted, but most were Christmas cards.  To be able to stamp together, laugh, and eat 🙂 is a great day.  That put me in the mood to continue with Christmas cards.  A variety of cards is what I prefer to send out, so I make groups of six of a design and then move on to another.  Today’s card is a fun, bright and quick card that could be adjusted to any occasion.  And it is a one stamp bundle card.

 

 

Stamp and Punch Bundle

This cute card is made using the Handmade Wishes Bundle.  This bundle includes the Handmade Wishes stamp set and the Handmade Tag Punch.  Punch bundles are a wonderful “bang for your buck” in my opinion.  And this is a uniquely shaped punch.  The stamp set includes sentiments for different occasions along with some little images, like the gingerbread man.  To match the bright paper, I opted to stamp the different elements of my greeting in different colors.  The ability to create the greeting I wanted was an extra bonus!

Papers

This fun DSP is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper.  It is a Host Reward from the Mini Catalog.  And it is one of the super sized paper packs that is well worth the little cost.  Actually both of these pieces are from the same sheet.  The pretty pink twinkle is the reverse of the candy side.  And that led to the Polished Pink card base.  Using non traditional colors is fun and I love the brightness.  It is a smile card!

Finishing

To tie this card all together, I added ribbon over the joining of the two DSP patterns.  The Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon works great here.  Plus it is very easy to work with on tying the bow.  The last step was to stamp, and then fussy cut. the little gingerbread man.  He is added at the top of the sentiment layer with Glue Dots and helps tie in all of the colors.
