For all the details about the challenge and to see lots of inspiration from the Design Team, have a look at the post from the start of the month here and today's reminder post here.

To make my card I used pink polka dot washi tape.

I started by putting tape round the four sides of my base layer so it matched perfectly.  Then I used a Stampin' Up bauble punch (from the Brightly Gleaming suite) to cut an aperture out of my next layer.  I added some more washi tape to my base layer so it shows through the aperture leaving a narrow gap between each strip.

Then I added a small piece of black outline sticker for the string and stamped my sentiment from the Stampin' Up Framed and Festive stamp set.

This month's theme was ideal for me as I can't help but keep all my scraps of patterned paper however small they are!

I used scraps of three different Stampin' Up papers to make the background to my card.  Then I used a sentiment from the Stampin' Up 'Framed and Festive' stamp set stamped in Real Red ink.

I used Mossy Meadow cardstock behind the patterned paper and then other card from Craft Creations.

To make my card I've used a new stamp set from Stampin' Up called 'Jingle Jingle Jingle'.

I used some scraps of Stampin' Up papers to make my background and then die cut a scalloped stitched panel to go on top.  

I stamped the 'tis the season' in Mossy Meadow and die cut it with a banner die and then stamped the 'jolly' underneath in black ink.  Then I stamped the 'jolly' again on patterned paper, cut the letters out and stuck them onto the die cut panel.

I finished the panel with some Card Candy.
