I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry & Bright stamp set bundle to create a quick Christmas card for the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge this week.

Here is the sketch for Sunday Stamps SSC320.  Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to play along too!

I started by adhering a panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the front of a Poppy Parade card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered another panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to a panel of Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets with Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered small pieces of Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock and then cut panels of Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets and the Shaded Spruce card stock with Merry & Bright Dies.  I adhered the lights and sockets together with Mini Glue Dots and then “strung” the lights on the cord die cut.  I adhered the cord die cut with the Adhesive Sheets and the lights with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.  I trimmed the cord die cut to fit on the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Wonderful Thoughts Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiments from the Merry & Bright stamp set in Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then adhered a strip of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
