Delivering Cheer

Inspiration: Tuesday Morning Sketches #631

I was going through my recent purchases to see what would spark inspiration and I decided to pair a Stampin' Up! set from the Holidays minicatalogue with the Joyful collection from Cocoa Vanilla. I started by stamping the lady with gift image in grey ink (to fit the pastel colors of the papers) and I used the collection as inspiration to color the image with alcohol markers. Once I was done, I fussy cut the image.

I used the floral pattern for the background and I was not liking the look of a patterned paper for the banner as my stamped image was getting lost on it. On a whim, I pulled out the Gold Rush cardstock from Lawn Fawn (which I really love) and it matched the golden yellow flowers beautifully, so I cut a banner out of it and I embossed it with one of the Wintry embossing folders from the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue. Using my Perfect Layers tool, I matted the banner using the coral patterned paper.

The backside of that same paper had stars on it, so I fussy cut a couple and placed them underneath the lady. The top felt bare, so I pulled out a roll of gold washi tape. While looking for the tape, I found the Wonderful Snowflakes (also sold in the Holidays minicatalogue). I added one underneath my layers, and I added genial gems in the center of both stars.

I used the Everyday Sentiment Banners dies to cut a banner like in the sketch, and ran it through the Big Shot twice to shorten it. The sticker sheet from the Joyful collection includes a bunch of gold-foil sentiment strips, so I picked a short one and added it with dimensional adhesive over the image. I also used a banner sticker at the top as well.

For the envelope, I used a journaling card on my matching envelope for the address block. This will be a fun collection to create with!
