Artful Delight December Kit- It's not just for Christmas!

  I have had oodles of fun working with this month's Artful Delight kit (December 2013).  All of my creations so far from this kit have been Christmas/holiday in nature, but I had not yet tried to make my self-imposed challenge: a masculine card.  I think perhaps this card could be for either a man or a woman, but I also wanted to show the versatility of the kit; it's not just for Christmas.  Especially the Paper Smooches "Group Hugs" stamp set that is included in the kit...fun fonts, terrific sentiments, and fun hearts.  Wanna see for yourself?

  Everything I needed to create this card came from the kit: kraft card stock, patterned papers, ribbon, stamp set, and a Hero Arts black ink pad!  I only added some sewing machine stitching and a smidge of adhesive (my Xyron for the ribbons and to mount the stitched layers onto the card base.)

  For more inspiration, please check out what my talented design team sisters have created with their kits on the Artful Delight blog.

Happy Sunday!
