A Paper Melody: Shabby Tea Room Guest Designer

Hi and thanks for stopping by today! I am very excited to be the Guest Designer this week over that the Shabby Tea Room Challenge Blog. I am a big fan of Shabby Tea Room and their talented Design Team!!

This week's them is Christmas is Coming, inspired by this pretty, warm and cozy photo. We are challenged to create a card/project inspired by the photo using brown, white & red.

And here my take on the challenge! Christmas is Coming! And I know I will be giving out a few gift cards. I think that a pretty card or packaging can make a gift card a little more special.

I created the background pattern with snowflakes from the Snowflake Splendor Stamp Set, stamped in Sweet Tooth Ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder on Wild Cherry Card Stock.

The gift card holder is cut with the Gift Card Pocket - Vertical Die-namics. It is layered on burlap cut with the Rectangle STAX Die-namics.

The snowflake is cut with the Let it Snowflake Die-namics and I added glitter for a little sparkle. The sentiment is from the Starry Christmas Stamp Set.

On the inside I stamped a sentiment from the Cheerful Christmas Greetings Stamp Set.

Hope you get a chance to play along! And thanks Debbie for the opportunity!
