This frog has a little pep-in-his-step for the holiday.  The NEWLY released Hoppy Holidays will make you grin.  Three image stamps, and unFROGettable sentiments, perfect for those Christmas cards. This is definitely a merry and bright, “hoppy holidays” card.

Creating this Card:

Another clean and simple card with a fun way to showcase a die cut sentiment.  I cut down the front panel to hold the die cut, and created a green layer beneath.  If the layer beneath is created with white cardstock, and the edges are only colored with the complimenting color, this is easy.  I die cut the top white panel with the shadow for “merry and bright”, and then popped it up off the partially colored green layer.  After die cutting the “merry and bright”sentiment, I inked it with a stamp pad.  All you have to do is lay the stamp pad on the letters, and press down a bit.  Easy Peasy.  The die cut sentiment was then added in the “window” of the shadow cut out.  The frog was colored and I cut off his legs.  Yum, frog legs!  After adhering remaining portion of the image down, I popped up one of the sentiments.  The little red dots were added using my OLO Marker.
