Happy
Holidays Everyone!!
I don’t know about you, but I’m having lots of
fun making Christmas cards! It’s this time of the year that I start to regret not
beginning this process a little earlier (like maybe in July? LOL) but I’ve still
managed to make quite a few.
I have
one of those to share with you today, but first let me remind you that today is
the beginning of Serendipity Stamp’s first December BLOG HOP!!
Serendipity showcases a new set of stamps every two weeks.
Just comment on the Design Team’s blogs listed below to enter to win a $20 gift
certificate to Serendipity Stamps! Also please note that the stamp and die of
the month are Penguins and the Snow Birds Branch Die Set, respectively…both are half off for the month of
November!
Here’s
a list of all the designers participating in the blog hop today…
I used one of my
favorite Serendipity Stamp’s sets for today’s card…it’s called the For Unto Us cling stamp set and it includes a
manger scene and five gorgeous sentiments! For this card I used the ‘Joy to the
World’ sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment
onto Ivory cardstock and embossed it using clear embossing ink. I die cut this
with a circle die and then die cut a larger circle from red cardstock for a
frame. I popped my sentiment circle up using a circle cut from craft foam.
I made my background
panel from two pieces of Carta Bella’s “Christmas Delivery” collection placed
at a diagonal. I added some green and ivory plaid ribbon, an ivory paper rose,
and some die cut spruce stems. As a final touch I added some red enamel dots
for “berries” (yes, I know that Spruce don’t produce berries, but I thought it
looked pretty anyway!) I also added a few extra enamel dots around my
sentiment. I popped up my patterned paper layers using craft foam.

For the inside of my
card, I used another of the sentiments from the “For Unto Us” stamp set. I LOVE
this font! So pretty!
Thanks so much for
visiting with me today! I hope you all have a fantastic day and find some time
during this busy holiday season to play! Happy crafting!!
