I’ve been trying to find just the right card for this beautiful greenery print from the Stitched Season Designer Series Paper. I love the little white flowers and all those leafy sprigs, and I wanted to leave enough of the paper showing to really enjoy them. Then I pulled out my long-retired Sweet Candy Canes Bundle and stamped a candy cane in Barely Blush. Add a little pink ribbon and there it was. A little retro, A LOT festive!

I used the current Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder on the Barely Blush background. The woven texture reminds me of a little plaid, which feels right at home with those candy cane stripes. A thin Secret Sea mat frames the greenery paper and picks up the darker sprigs in the print.

I tucked a couple of die-cut sprigs behind the candy cane and set it slightly off to one side of the white stitched circle. That left just enough room for “Christmas Cheer” and a few little sparkly snowflakes. I think the ribbon tied right around the candy cane might be my favourite detail!

If you still have the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle tucked away, give it a try in pink. And if you’ve had your eye on the Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, it’s on the Last Chance list. I’m so glad I finally found a card for this side of it!
