I think you'll find this week's Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge very inspiring! Take a look at the great inspiration photo below, then get out your supplies and join us this week! It's never too early to get started on your holiday cards!
My card is graphic, clean and simple, and I hope you like it as much as I do! It's easy to make a bold statement with repeated stamping of your sentiment in different colors. It adds instant visual impact to your card and it's a great way to add a balance of color to your overall design! The sentiment colors are repeated again by using punched snowflakes embellished with colored rhinestones. Each snowflake is different, adding eye-catching interest to the colorful grouping.
Be sure to visit the Merry Monday blog to see what the rest of the Merry Monday Design Team did with this challenge! You're going to love their wonderful creations! Get out your supplies and get started. I can't wait to see what you create!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Paper: Coastal Cabana, Rich Razzleberry, Gumball Green, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink: Gumball Green, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise
Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Himalayan Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), Alpine Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), Glacial Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart)

Would have never put those colors together for Christmas but the feel is fresh and retro all at the same time. Beautiful!

Gorgeous! Haven't even opened my new purchases yet, but I will! Sometime, I need your help with script…I have downloaded some designs from a site that Donna told me about. I'm hoping I can load the card stock in my printer and run off…anyway, sometime, I may want you to come over and help me with that. I want to do those personalized cards with initials.
