This is my card for the Stamping 411 Weekly Sketch Challenge. I just LOVE how it turned out. You can’t actually tell in the picture, but in real life, you can see that all of the white paper on this card is actually Stampin’ Up’s very elegant Shimmery White card stock.

I started by using my Big Shot Machine with the Snowflake #2 die. Later this month, I am doing a Big Shot Basics and Beyond class and the featured die will be this Snowflake #2 die. I always make a few extra items for display that are not actually part of the class. This sketch was perfect for bringing a small stamp to life on a big card.

The Santa is stamped with Real Red ink onto the Shimmery White and punched out with the Scallop Square punch. It is layered with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto two 1.5″ squares of Basic Gray and Basic Black.

The sentiment uses one of my all time favorite word sets called Teeny Tiny Wishes. I love how I can stamp these sentiments onto any paper scrap and punch them out with my word window punch for perfect placement on my card. The sentiment finds its home on a scalloped black strip layered behind a strip of Shimmery White accented with our Red Gingham Ribbon. The bow is tied separately and adhered to the ribbon strip with a mini glue dot.
