154-A Jingle Belles Friday Sketch

This week, we have teamed up with the fun Jingle Belles blog. They offer amazing holiday card inspiration every week! So in honour of that, it's Christmas a bit early here at the clean & simple blog!

Here's this week's sketch:

I had lots of fun making use of punches and coordinating designer paper! I made 2 holiday cards. The measurements are pretty straight forward, the main image panel is 2.5. The circles were 1-3/4, 1-1/4, 1, 3/4, and 1/2.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Holiday Buttons Bits, Inside and Out: Holiday
• Ink: Cranberry Crisp, Taken with Teal
• Paper: Cranberry Crisp, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Ridinghood Red, Taken With Teal, Sahara Sand, Various Holiday Stampin' Up Paper Packs (both now retired)
• Accessories, etc: Embossed scalloped punch, Eyelet Lace die, several circle punches

Remember to play along at Jingle Belles!!

FTL153 Thanks

Here is my take on the FTL153.  We're playing with CAS-ualFridays this week.  I was a bit stumped at first with the horizontal panel being under the image.  So I decided to attach the horizontal panel onto the vertical panel and then used the daisy border embossing folder over the panels. 
Supplies: Stamps - Mark's Finest Papers (sentiment); Paper - Mark's Finest Papers, PaperTrey; Ink - VersafineOnyx Black; Misc - Cuttlebug Daisy Border Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Kaiserkraft Rhinestones
