Sweet Christmas Wishes

Today's card was made from the inspiration of two challenges. First, over at Colorful Options, their August mood board is a mix of browns inspired by a back-to-school/reading theme. I love that, but I used only the colors and went with a Christmas cookie theme. Then over at Christmas (or Not) BINGO Challenges, I used all the elements in the "B" column: Brown, Check, Digital Image and Christmas.

This costs less than $1.00 to print a page
and I was able to get 3 nice sized images
for that price!

It was fun combining these two challenges. I started by creating a digital image in Canva Pro. I downloaded it and had it printed at FedEx. You can see in the photo on the left that it was really easy to put 3 images on one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. The largest is 5" x 7". But for this card, I used the middle size image and cut it out. I then mounted it on card stock and patterned papers. You can make your images any size you want. Often I put 4 on a sheet of paper. It's a great way to make cards for not too much money. Feel free to use the digital image below for your own cards or crafts!

Here's my complete supply list:

•

• Stampin' Up! Early Espresso Card Stock
• Houndstooth Patterned Paper (Big Box Store)
• Michaels Twine
• Bazzill Peanut Cluster Card Stock
• Stampin' Up! Mini Gold Dots

On the right there's a better picture of the mini dots.

I think this is going to be a really nice card for a guy since it has a lot of masculine colors in it. Christmas will certainly be here before we know it!
