Day 18 - 2019 Countdown to Christmas

This card uses many retired Stampin' Up! items, but it was one of my favorite cards to make this year.  (NOTE:  Since many of the classes I'm now teaching are not Stampin' Up! activities, I'm able to come up with lots of cute ideas using my retired stash.)

Stamp sentiment near bottom of 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" Whisper White card stock; adhere to 3-3/4" x 2-1/2" Handsome Hunter card stock.  Attach to front of card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  (NOTE: Since this stamp had a couple of ornaments on it, I painted them with the Red and Green Stampin' Write Markers.)

5. Punch candy cane from red and white striped paper; use brush end of Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker to trace around outer edge of candy cane to define the edges.  Adhere candy cane to Whisper White card stock with Stampin' Dimensionals.
