Judith Patterson: Stampin' Up! Holly Jolly Wishes

This week's Card From the Catalog comes from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, and can be found on p. 119. This time, I changed practically everything about the card! I don't have the Handmade for You stamp set they used for the catalog card, the Animal Print Embossing Folder, OR the Shaker Shapes embellishments. (I probably NEED all those things, right!?) What I did have was a small scrap of Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper that I wanted to use for the background piece AND a stamp from Holly Jolly Wishes that I hadn't used yet. So, that was my starting point.
