A big Congrats to Gabby, the newest Featured Stamper! What a wonderful gallery she has! I chose THIS card of hers to case. I liked the borders on top and bottom so I kept the layout & the red and white (& added green) colors, but I turned it, used different images and made mine a Christmas card.
After stamping the string of lights across the top, I used a Spellbinders bracket border die to cut the bottom in 3 sections. I attached two stamped plaid sections, one red & one green, together and added the cut off borders on top. The greeting and lamp post were fussy cut and attached to my 5.50 4.25 card.
Congrats again, Gabby, and enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking and all the details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh Julie, I'm LOVING the touch of plaid between the beautiful die-cut borders - wow, that is gorgeous - this is my kind of holiday card, nice crisp white with bright pops of colour!
Julie, that sentiment makes me smile. I need to lighten up during the holidays. Love the border layers mixed with the plaid dp. Really a fun card.
