Today I have a card for you made with the North Pole Delivery Specialty Paper, and it’s not a Christmas card.
The card was made for #TGIFC546, where our theme is a sketch challenge. It’s a basic design that makes for an easy card.
I love the North Pole Delivery suite and think the animals are oh, so cute, but I wanted to show a different take on the paper. Only a couple of the prints have animals on them, which leaves a lot of designs that can be used for anything.
To Make the Card
I chose to show off some of the letter/card die cuts. Initially I used a letter-print for the background DSP. It was way too busy combined with the die cuts, so I opted for the subdued Pool Party print.
For the tiny elements in the sketch, I punched some hearts out with the Bee Builder punch, and created a small sentiment with the Sweet Jar stamp set. Then, I embellished it with some Gold & White Baker’s Twine and some Dear Dots.
The card came together quite quickly and is pretty easy to make. The best part is I can send it for any occasion, it doesn’t have to be a Christmas card.
There is a PDF tutorial (complete with pictures) that you can download if you would like to make it. You can get it by clicking on the button below.
Do you have a card in mind you can make with this sketch? We would love to have you play along with us this month over at the TGIF Challenges Blog.
Also, be sure to leave me a comment below. I would love to know what you think about my North Pole Delivery is Not Just For Christmas card.
