Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays, so the design team created a project for the holiday of their choice. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love making Christmas cards, and the Leaves of Holly Bundle has become one of my favorites. It has a wonderful label die with sentiments to stamp inside. Today, it is Basic White Cardstock, with “Christmas Wishes” stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink.
The leaves on the label can be left open, or backed with die-cut paper. For today’s card, I used a green portion of the gorgeous, Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper. Do you see the tiny border of green? It was created by cutting a second label in green, and fitting the thin, green, strip, around the white label.
Holly for Christmas
The other leaves and berries were cut from Boughs of Holly Designer Paper, giving a variation in color. And, the overlays add wonderful texture!
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with a Wintry Embossing Folder. It’s a narrower embossing folder, so I ran it though the machine twice to cover the entire card front. This layer was glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, the leaves were raised on Dimensionals, and my Christmas card was complete.
Thank you for visiting, and enjoy the holidays!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on December 14th. Our theme will be Last Minute Gift/Card Ideas.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
