Gosh, it feels like such a long time since I've made a card - life sure gets in the way sometimes!
I'm trying to get more Christmas cards made, so I pulled out some of my Simon Says Stamp goodies again. I love their new, Holiday Peace and Joy Flair Badges. The colors are so fun! I wanted to use those same colors for a portion of my background, so I took a border stamp from their, Happy Everyday clear set and used Hero Arts Shadow Inks to create the stripes.
I cut the two striped pieces and adhered them to the steel gray panel. The sentiment is also from SSS - their Merry Christmas Die - LOVE IT!! And aren't those Flair Badges adorable?! The dots under the Christmas tree are actually a burgundy color but are showing up almost black in the photo.
That's it from me tonight - very late as usual - I'm such a night owl, but it's a great time to create without interruptions.
Hope you all have a great week! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

I was never sure just what to do with these badge thingys.......now I get it. Remind me of the protest buttons I wore in the 1960's -ha! Love how you coordinated your stamping, too. Happy BDay, dear friend - hope it is as special as YOU are! Hugs!

Barb, you are a SSS rock star! Love how you were able to use the flair. I have the hardest time finding the right place to put them! Love the diagonal stripes!
A very delightful card Barb. The flair buttons are amazing.
Hi Barb! I love anything different for Christmas instead of the traditional green and red. This is super duper gorgeous! Hey, I'm sure it's your birthday today (28th)...So, here's to a Very Happy Birthday!!! And let me take this opportunity to once again thank you for always being such a kind and friendly person.
