To get started I created a card base by folding
a piece of 4.25 x 11 inch cardstock in half. I then placed the large sweater
vest die so that just the top edge hung over the fold and ran it through my die
cutting card.
On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from the Foxy Christmas stamp set. Next, I took the various dies from the set and cut out the pieces from colored cardstock. To give the sweater vest some texture, I embossed it using the Cable Knit embossing folder.
Now it's time to make this sweater ugly! I took the Merry Sentiments light bulb stamp and stamped it onto various colors of cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then took the coordinating die and cut them out. To give each light bulb a topper, I cut out the bulb from silver cardstock and trimmed off the lower part before adhering it to the bulb. I then used double sided foam tape to adhere the bulbs to the sweater vest. For the final touch, I added some white string for the bulb to hang from.
I hope you enjoyed the ugly Sweater Vest Christmas card I shared with you and that you're inspired to create your own version of this card. Thanks so much for joining me today!

I know this would not be my style of sweater to wear or to give as a gift, but for a card, it is sensational. I LOVE the rich color of blue, and all the details that make this look like an actual knit sweater. The lights are very festive and add such a fun dose of color. Thanks for sharing this great card and "brightening" my day!!
