Warm Wishes

 Good Morning!

Today i am sharing a card I made using the sketch at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

My card:

I had to make my card a bit bigger than the standard 2A, to accommodate my squares.

It is an odd size so this one won't be mailed, it turned out to be 4-1/4" x 6"

I use the new Stitched Season Suite of products by Stampin' Up!

I really like this suite, I am a quilter as well as a paper crafter, so this suite was right up my alley.

 The base of my card is one of the new in colors Peaceful Pine, I embossed the front with Swirls of Magic EF, which is from the Halloween suite of products, but I think it works with other style of cards, not just Halloween.

The "pieced" squares are from the DSP in this suite called A Stitched Season DSP, it is a fabulous DSP pack.

The top of the stocking die matches perfectly with this pattern in the DSP pack.

I die cut 3 of the squares and matted them with real red cardstock.

I lined them up down the side of the card, leaving a small space in between.

The sentiment from the Stitched Stocking stamp set is stamped on Basic White with Black ink.

I added it to the card with dimensionals.

I die cut the holly from the piece from the same set using Peaceful Pine 

and added it the end of the sentiment piece. 

I used some red rhinestones that I have in my stash of retired embellishments, to represent the berries, but there is a die in the set to cut some from cardstock if you want.

I finished up with a few snowflakes from the retired Loose Snowflake embellishments.

Thanks for coming by today!
