Guess who got her Holiday Mini preorder in? (Second day aired it. Couldn’t wait) LOL
Sorry about the picture. I had to take it last night. Lucas has a doctor’s appointment early in the morning and I won’t be able to take a good picture before taking him to the base clinic.
The card base (surprise, surprise) is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock folded in half.
The next layer is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Riding Hood Red, stamped with the berry/leaf stamp from the stamp set “A Christmas Cardinal” and sponged first with Riding Hood Red, the with Chocolate Chip ink. The edges of the cardstock were distressed with the Cutter Kit and paper pierced.
The next Chocolate Chip layer measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. It was sponged and the edges were distressed again. On top of that is a 1/4″ smaller piece of Ski Slope Designer Paper that was sanded with our sanding block.
The horizontal strip of Shimmery White cardstock measures 1 1/4″ x 4″. I punched the right hand side with the Scallop Edge Punch and sponged the edges with Creamy Caramel. It was adhered to all layers and the new Alpine Ribbon was tied around it.
I stamped the Cardinal stamp with Black Stazon on White Shimmery cardstock and punched it out with the new 1 3/4″ circle punch. The edges were sponged with Creamy Caramel, the image colored with Aqua Painter and ink pads (Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Creamy Caramel, Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red).
I paper pierced the edges and layered the circle on a 2″ sponged and paper pierced Riding Hood Red square. That square was layered on a bigger Chocolate Chip scallop square that was pieced together out of 4 Chocolate chip scallop square punchouts.

Thanks again for a great sketch, babe — looks like a few of us had that beautiful Riding Hood Red on the brain today! Love this new cardinal image — gorgeous card. Hope Lucas is okay.
What a darling cardinal, and the red and brown and green are perfect.
I love cardinals, I wish I could see one. Seeing them always reminds me of the Christmas cards we used to get from relatives in Canada.
This is wonderful!! I love the colours you used, the cardinal, the layout, all the distressing and the ribbon too 🙂

I love it.
I am so jealous of you americans and your expedited shipping! Because of customs we don’t have that option here in Canada – so sad! But I love that gorgeous cardinal and he will be mine soon!
Ooooh! You lucky dog! My order (with this set in it) just shipped today. Your card is gorgeous! I love the way you cut the image in a circle, the piercing, the ribbon, the paper…OK, I love it all!
Gorgeous card!! Love the combination!! I did second day air too, then I didn’t even open one package of anything last night! Doh! Maybe after a nap tonight! lol!
Oh Beate, that cardinal is just gorgeous. I’ve held off on ordering it, but it’s just so pretty. Beautifully colored and I love that ribbon.
Yay…more new goodies!! This is gorgeous, Beate!! I love how you’ve colored that beautiful cardinal, and your pretty colors & distressing!! Fabulous!!

This is just a fantastic card. Just want to take a moment to say I am so glad you are sharing again. I really missed your daily posts. I do understand your need for a break, but wanted you to know that you were missed. Thanks so much for sharing all your talents with us. Darlene
WOWZA! I LOVE your tip for the 4 scallop squares! I was scanning the details looking for the word “nestabilities” (which I don’t have and am holding off for now until SU comes up with something close!) and was thrilled to see an alternative. Thanks for the BRILLIANT idea!!! 🙂
Oh I so Love everything about this, just Beautiful!
