Hello there, and happy Saturday to you! Can you believe it’s March already? I have to say that it still feels like winter here in the Shenandoah Valley because we got about 5 inches of snow Thursday – just after the snow we got on Valentine’s Day finally was mostly melted away!
At 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown our month of challenges always starts off with a sketch, and this time it’s a nice one that can be kept simple or dressed up with layers and interesting shaped panels and embellishments. I’ve chosen to keep it clean and layered in style. I’ve been on one of my “trying to use older products” kicks the last few days, and that’s reflected in this card. I’ve used stamps, cardstock, and designer paper that’s been retired for several years, and I’ve had the tiny round brads for a while. The star brad is a leftover from the Christmas cards my family sent in 2010. The brads make this card eligible for the current Shopping Our Stash challenge – well, they might not be my very oldest hardware, but I’ve had them for at least 4 years. The tree panel is raised from the card base with dimensional adhesive.
And now it’s your turn to show us what you can create! We’d love it if you joined our challenge this week. You have until 7:00 pm Eastern time Friday, March 13 to link your card at the 52{C}CT site. Thanks for stopping by today!
All supplies except the brads are from Stampin’ Up.
Stamps: Season of Joy, Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Naturals Ivory, Certainly Celery Prints designer paper
Ink: Certainly Celery
Other: dimensionals, corner rounder punch; round mini brads (Recollections); star brad (The Paper Studio)

Patricia this is simply gorgeous. I love the soft shade of green and the pretty, clean layered design. Gorgeous work.
elle est tout a fait charmante Patricia, les couleurs sont fines et sobres, un joli effet frais et les touches argent lui donne la finition élégante, biz
love your monochromatic design and the cute little swirly Christmas tree
I love your card Patricia. You’ve used one of my favourite ever stamp sets for the sentiment – one of the very first Stampin Up sets I bought, and will never part with! Love the clean lines and pretty colour – great job. Hugs, Gill xx
This is a favourite stamp of mine, a very elegant and classy card.
