Today, I wanted to highlight the designer series paper called A Walk in the Forest. You may remember the series of posts I did several weeks ago using this fun set of papers. But I wanted to circle back and draw attention to the Stampin’ Up! Making a Difference Initiative. For each U.S. sale of A Walk in the Forest, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to Toys for Tots. I love that I can support others during the holidays – not only through a handmade card but through my purchase of this pack of paper. Smiles all around in my book!
Now, down to the business of design. It was fun to mix and match patterns for this card to give a down-home Christmas kinda feel to the overall design. Crumb Cake serves as the card base. Using both sides of a sheet of the Joyful designer series paper provides the musical plaid backdrop for the forest of trees. To help the sheet of trees from A Walk in the Forest really stand out, a sheet of Shaded Spruce serves as the mat. The three trees taking center stage are stamped in various shades of green and diecut using Merriest Trees. Everything really ties together nicely with the sentiment flags tucked into the grove of trees.
Does this give you the warm and cozy feelings of a country Christmas? What are your go-to, homey holiday patterns?
