Welcome back! Happy Saturday. It’s a hot one today, so let’s go wintery with a Christmas card…
The challenges: Jingle Belles (#2512) with a Caroling theme: Krafty Chicks (#772) Anything Goes Christmas Week; and Farm Quest Country Christmas (#21).
Rounding out my idea with the Creative Colours (#197) Palette and the TGIF (#529) Sketch.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Pecan Pie cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Night of Navy cardstock.
- The sentiment, Silent Night, Holy Night, from the retired Peace to You stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
- Shape – Square: (3½” x 3½”) Basic White cardstock.
- The Church image, also from the Peace to You stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy ink and trimmed to (3″ x 3″).
- The scene was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors chosen: Trees, Church Cross, Doors and Cross Beam – Light Pecan Pie and Church Windows – Light Strawberry Slush.
- Horizontal Cross Strip: (4⅞” x 1”) Basic White cardstock scrap dry-embossed with the Sunrise Sailing 3D Embossing Folder, an On-Line Exclusive product, and trimmed with Paper Snips to represent a Snowbank.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.
Happy Holidays.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!

Beautiful country church winter scene! During the past few days, Joe and I saw many country churches and small town ones, too. We also some grand brick and stone old churches in NY towns like Rochester, Syracuse, Oswego, Rome and Jamestown.
Thanks for creating and sharing with FQCCCB! — Becca
