I have been wanting to use my Sweater Vest dies for the longest time and I finally got around to it tonight. I have this project in the back of my mind that I've discussed with my mom and that I hope comes to fruition but if it does, I need to have a lot of Christmas cards on hand so I'm trying to get moving on my production, especially since I can't believe it's already mid-October! Not that I'll be sad to see this dumpster fire of a year come to an end, but time really got away from me this year, it feels. Anyway, I also want to make sure to have some more masculine Christmas cards on hand and the sweater vest is always a good bet. I went through my 6" x 6" holidays paper and settled on Deck the Halls from Echo Park (released maybe a couple of years ago?). This is pretty straightforward as I let the dies do the work, but I did add stitching with green embroidery floss. I'd like to make a few more sweater vest cards using different paper collections. They're fairly quick to put together and the result makes me smile.
