Cardinal Christmas



It seems only fitting that my very first Christmas card this year should be made with Cardinal Christmas. Stampin' Up had a stamp set in the Holiday Mini a few years ago that had a beautiful cardinal in it, but the stamps had words on it so I didn't buy it, and I've kicked myself for it ever since. I was so excited to see this gorgeous set in this year's mini. I just got it yesterday, and I love it!

This is a very simple card and goes together in just minutes, and would be quite easy to make multiples of. Ingredients: Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas, Itty Bitty Backgrounds. Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Brushed Silver, Shimmery White. Stampin' Up accessories: Silver Elastic Card, Coluzzle Cutting System. Non-Stampin' Up: Pallette Noir Black ink, Copic markers. The elastic makes the silver cord great for a card like this, I tied it tight so it wouldn't hang loose and was still able to move it around easily until I found a position I liked.
