Stampin' Up! Words of Cheer ~ Sketch Saturday

 

Welcome to my blog!  Today's card was inspired by this Sketch #691 from Sketch Saturday's blog.  This is the last Sketch Saturday sketch for 2021.  Isn't that crazy!?  This year has flown by!

I used Stampin' Up!'s Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper for most of this card.  I love that almost all of Stampin' Up!'s designer series papers are double sided and quite often you can just flip the DSP over and use both sides of the same sheet on a project.  That is exactly what I did for this card.  

I needed a fairly small sentiment for this one, and I'm still in Christmas mode, so I decided to use Words of Cheer as my stamp set this time.  This card really goes together pretty quickly, and only has the sentiment stamped.  (Of course, I did heat emboss the sentiment!)
