Santa Paws Christmas card goes to Salt Lake City

I have just returned from Salt Lake City after attending Stampin’ Up!’s convention called OnStage Live. I had the best time whilst I mixed business with pleasure, but really, pleasure with pleasure.  But before I left I created lots of cards to swap with other demonstrators.  It is always optional whether you take part in swaps, but it is a wonderful way to meet other demonstrators and bring home so many gorgeous cards.  My major swap card this time featured the Santa Paws Stamp Set.

Santa Paws Stamp Set combined with the Brightly Lit Christmas

I enjoyed creating this card so much.  It is super cute and I just love those singing cats (I am the proud owner of two pussy cats).  It combines two stamp sets, Santa Paws and Carols of Christmas as well as the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits Dies.  The images from the Santa Paws Stamp Set can be just left as line stamps if you wish but I liked the splash of colour.  The big font “Peace on Earth” from the Carols of Christmas is the centrepiece of this card.

Stampin’  Blends were used to colour the cat images – Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist.  The Stampin’ Blends are so easy to use.
