Holly Days

Welcome!

Are you ready for Christmas?  Anywhere close?  Not me!!!  I've never been so late getting all my Christmas chores done.  Cross your fingers for me that I get a lot done tomorrow :)

I may not be getting my wrapping or decorating done, but I'm having fun stamping!!  I sat down the other night with a card in mind.  It was going to be great - a line of Santa faces across my card, die cut along the bottom and a red piece of card stock inside to show below the Santa's.  Sound great, right?  So how come this is what I stamped????

Don't get me wrong - I love how this card came out, but it certainly isn't Santa!  The problem was that I saw the Happy Holly Days stamp as soon as I sat down and just wanted to use it.  So out goes Santa and in come our Triple Holly Leaves.

To make this card I stamped the Holly Leaves 4 times on a scrap piece of card stock, cut them out and then colored them.  I also used a large round embossing tool and a mouse pad to curl them a bit for dimension.  Next I cut a piece of red card stock to approx. 2" and then sponged on the tiniest bit of black around the sides and attached it to the bottom of my white card.  I stamped the Holly Days greeting using bright red ink and then attached my row of holly leaves covering up the seam and attached all to a black folded card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
