Easter Greetings Arch-Shaped card

 I'm doing things a bit differently today.  Normally, this would post on Saturday, but because the tree stamp set is a free stamp set only through today, I'm posting this on Friday, February 28, 2025.  I hope you will take advantage of the Sale a-bration free offering and choose the Pick A Season stamp set as one of your free choices.  I really do love this stamp set and it has such great versatility.  I think it's a must have for all stampers.  If you would like to see how I put this card together, please watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

Ugly Christmas Sweater card

I was inspired to make this card from several posts on Pinterest.  I found the pin by Sue Parker of Sparkled stamps which showed how to cut the card to make the sweater.  I set about making my own version and this is the result.  I was very happy with how it turned out.  I hope you'll agree.

I used the Cable Knit Dynamic embossing folder on this one.  It's so awesome.  I thought it would be adorable to put the Santa face peeping out of the pocket.  The v-neck took a little working out as I used a the retired embossing folder called stylish stripes to make it.  It's a bit fiddle to get the stripes matched up and going opposite directions in order to make it pleasing to the eye, but it was worth the effort.
