Hi, Friends,
I hope you had a “Merry and Bright” Christmas! Brian and Lia came over to help us celebrate, so we had a good time. We had our Christmas meal on Christmas Eve: a Butternut Squash Galette, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Grape Salad, Rolls, and Strawberry Cake for dessert. I didn’t take any pictures of the food, but it was good.
I still have a couple of projects to share with you, so will get on with it!
This card was inspired by one designed and made by Anne Marie Hile, stampinanne.com, post dated November 14, 2021.

The Pattern Place DSP is a hostess item in the Annual Catalog. It has a lot of pretty colored patterned papers on one side and lots of black and white colored prints on the other side. The inside looks like this:
HOW I MADE IT:
1. Use Memento Black ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.
2. Stamp sentiment using Memento Black ink on upper left corner of inside Cardstock.
3. Use Memento Black ink to stamp snowflakes on lower left corner of inside Cardstock.
4. Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of Cardstock.
5. Add rhinestones to snowflakes.
6. Emboss Basic White Cardstock using Timeworn Type Embossing Folder and SU Die Cut Machine.
7. Adhere Embossed Basic White Cardstock to right side of Basic Black Cardstock.
8. Adhere strip of Pattern Party DSP to left side of Basic Black Cardstock. Tie White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the strip of Pattern Party DSP. Adhere panel to front of card base.
9. Adhere Pattern Party DSP to Smoky Slate Cardstock; adhere panel to Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere panel to center of Embossed Basic White Cardstock on the right side of the front of the card base.
10. Use glue dots to adhere Wonderful Snowflake to center of Pattern Party DSP.
11. Stamp sentiment using Memento Black ink on a scrap of Smoky Slate Cardstock. Cut out using long die from Harvest Dies. Cut off ends of die cut to make straight ends.
12. Attach sentiment to front of card base using dimensionals.
13. Add Matte Black Dots (see sample for placement).
Thanks so much for stopping by today; I still have a couple of Christmas projects to share. I got distracted by cooking and other things and missed posting for a few days.
Happy stamping,
