Hello Friends,
I know… don’t fall over in your chair because I am posting a card on a Tuesday, it’s weird for me too!
I am jut lucky enough to have the entire week of from school ..Yipeeeee! So yesterday I had a chance
to create for a challenge that I have been neglecting lately.
I love The Friday Mashup and love the colors they chose this week.
Although I didn’t put any snowflakes on my card I think it’s okay,
because I did use Kraft and Gingham which were the requirements this week.
Here is the card I got my inspiration from…I like to give credit where credit is due!
Here is her blog! She does great work!
Isn’t it cool?
My only regret is that I didn’t distress my card. It was to late when I realized. 😦
I used the Stampin Up corner punch to make my tree!
Most of the paper is from Creative Memories along with the zig zag piece.
The star is a gold sheet of vellum, but it doesn’t look very shiny in the photo.
The word PEACE is made with an alphabet set of stamps that I love.
I ran the base of my tree and the brown backgrounds piece through my Cuttlebug
using a stripes SU Embossing Folder.
The rest is made with various star punches.
Hope you have a fantastic day!
Mine is going to be great! My son is coming home tonight! So stoked!
Let the baking begin!

Nancy, this is fantastic! I love that punch. When I use it for a card, all my girls want it- so sad it is retired! You were so very clever in making a tree with it. I can’t wait to try that! I also love the gingham, the zig zag , the stars, the Stripes EF- and the PEACE- just everything goes so well together. A Great take on the inspiration card but totally unique! Thanks for playing along with the Friday Mashup this week;)
