Falling for the Holidays 2022

 Hello, welcome to my first entry in the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party. 

For this non-traditional card, I used a popular chair stamp from Unity Stamp Co. (one of our sponsors!), designed by a crafty friend, Jeanie Hays. This stamp can be purchased in the standalone set, My Happy Place, or if you are a member, in a prior Kit of the Month (KOTM), Beginning of Anything, from May 2020. I got the idea of this card from looking at new 2022 paper pads… chairs seem to be in! And why not! They are comfy and cozy… especially with a little holiday decor!

I also used a new paper pad that reminds me of my little Havanese dogs, Paper Roses’ Snuggly Christmas. I love the fresh use of a new color for holiday cards! So, to begin I stamped the chair, added a little pencil shading and fussy cut it out. I did end up also using a white Posca pen to outline the chair. I then stamped the pillow twice on 2 different sheets from the pad, shaded them and fussy cut them out. I also fussy cut the ornaments and a cute little pup! I decided to make the background using 2 of the sheets from the pad, one for the rug and one for the wall.

Before putting everything together, I decorated one of the pillows with a snowflake to match the ornaments. I found the perfect one in September’s KOTM, Fa-La-La-La-La, along with a perfect sentiment! I embossed both using a sparkly blue Stampendous embossing powder. The pillows, sign and ornaments are all foam raised. I used a navy and a silver pen to “attach” the ornaments to the ceiling!

To be honest, this turned out better than my expectations! But then I’m known for my love of quirky cards! Hope you enjoyed this one… now… your turn!
