Inspiration: July 2022 Card Maps Sketch
I kept going with the Card Maps sketches and the Holly Days collection from Simple Stories and this is the third card I put together. The bear image was fussy cut from a cut-apart sheet, and the gifts from a patterned paper. I cut a tag from the cut-apart sheet, shortened it and used the backside as a decorative strip on the bottom. I rounded the bottom corners. I arranged the gifts on it, adding the last one with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the "Happy Holidays" sentiment in Real Red ink. I topped the tag with a decorative brad.
I wrapped Real Red ribbon around the card and added a pink button in the center of the bow. I popped the bear on Stampin' Dimensionals and added it to the card. I added a red button to his scarf, Stickles to its cheeks and hat and sequins to the gifts' bows.
Even though the card is A2, the button made it a tight squeeze in a regular envelope, so I found an old piece of Garden Green Designer Series Paper and used it to make an oversize envelope. I used another tag from the cut-apart sheet as my address block.
