I had several patterned paper squares sitting on my desk from these cards. Though, I didn't use those patterns together, I really liked the color combo and thought it would be perfect for creating some CAS Christmas cards. I love how these turned out. So pretty, but really simple to create (specially when half of the work was already done for me!)
I only had six squares, so I actually had to cut two more to finish the second card. But it was worth it. I used two different sentiment from the same stamp and switched the layout of the squares on the second card just to change things up a a little.Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Ornamental Christmas" sentiments
Dies: Repeat Impressions "Flip Fancy Die Set" rounded rectangle; Memory Box "Lindeman Snowflake"
Challenges:
Unicorn Challenge #49--Christmas/winter
Christmas at Sweet Stampin--anything goes with the optional twist: trees
