I love taking a ‘general’ stamp and making it into a holiday one.  Today on SCS the CAS challenge (you know one of my FAVS) was a wonderful sketch challenge.  I wasn’t in the mood to use any of my Christmas stamps and there sat my neglected Tiny Teacup stamp…PERFECT!

A couple quick notes…the base of the card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 Whisper White.  I took another piece of Whisper White, ran it through the Polka Dotted folder and added to the card base using dimensionals.  I took another piece of Whisper White, took a strip of the diagonal stripe print from Letters to Santa, added a thin strip of Early Espresso along the side then added to the panel.  I stamped the Tiny Teacup in Garden Green, Real Red, and Wild Wasabi, cut out and added to the panel using dimensionals.  Then I went REALLY CRAZY and stamped the little holly/berries from the Pines and Poinsettias set (Cherry Cobbler/Garden Green) three times, cut out (yep…I cut out these little puppies!) and added to the cups.  I made a ‘bow’ (click here for my tutorial) using Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and a small Clear Rhinestone brad, added to the panel and then added to the card front.  Finally I stamped the greeting from Tiny Tags, punched with the jewelry punch and added to the card front using a dimensional.
