Day 4 - 2019 Countdown to Christmas

Today's project is a fun holiday card I made with a combination of Stampin' Up! supplies (current and retired) and items from my Christmas stash.  It's based on a card designed by Mary Fish.  Click HERE to view Mary's original design, as well as several more ideas using the Cup of Christmas Bundle featured in Stampin' Up!'s holiday catalog.
