I am jumping back on the blogging bandwagon with our CTMH Cross Canada Blog Hop. This month we feature the Holly Jolly paper collection, perfect for all your holiday crafting. This is a circular hop so if you've joined me from
Creations with Michelle, you are in the right place.
I have been prepping for my Christmas Card events and this was one of the cards I came up with. I love the bright colours of the Holly Jolly collection and the patterns feel a little bit whimsical so I wanted to keep my cards light-hearted.
This card features the Holly Jolly papers along with our retired Green Glitter paper. I used our Stitched Square dies to cut the white daisy cardstock used for stamping. I stamped the super cute snowman from our exclusive stamp set featured with the Holiday Cheer Tags & Ornaments special we have right now (CC101911) using Momenta black ink. I added the sentiment (from the same adorable stamp set) with Candy Apple ink. Just added a bit of a watercolour wash on the bottom for the snow. I did colour in my snowman's hat with my black marker and added colour to the holly leaves as well. Three dots of Christmas Red Stickles finished off the berries. I used some of our Thin Foam Tape to pop up the stamped image on the card, then embellished with Holly Jolly Dots. Here' a closer look at the card:
I did a second card using the same paper layout, but with a non CTMH stamp that I had purchased several years ago and had never used:
I love that crazy cat and I am so happy that I finally stamped him!
