Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 33

Hello friends! Welcome back to our Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dara Gloden’s blog. I can’t wait to share our beautiful inspiration with you today!

I don’t know why I love any shade of blue for Christmas cards but I just do!  It is especially fitting to share this card with you today since it has been snowing here all afternoon and evening and it looks all sparkly and pretty outside & on my craft desk 🙂

This card was my contribution for our Stamping’ for a Cure fundraiser on World Card Making Day.  That was early October but I was already feeling the Christmas spirit!  This card is super easy and has lots of wow factor.  I used All is Calm washi tape for the base, stamped some cute trees from the Festival of Trees set and added some glitz with punched stars and the lovely Merry Christmas sentiment.  I have to say, washi tape is so quick and fun….I want it on everything!

One caveat on this card….the Good Greetings stamp set is not available for purchase…it was part of a promotion that ended on 10/31…it is so cute that I can’t bear to not use it though!

Enjoy!  I hope this inspires you to make some easy Christmas cards this year!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 32

Hello friends! Welcome back to our Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dani Dziama’s blog. I can’t wait to share our beautiful inspiration with you today!

I missed out on this set when it first came out so I was super excited that it showed up again in the Holiday Catalog.  Then I had so many things on my wish list that I didn’t order it right away….gosh how could I control myself for so long???  I just love the set, it is easy to use and the fonts make my heart go pitter-pat 🙂

The card I made is super easy and I think the simplicity is what makes it especially stunning.  Some highlights:  I cut my Kraft cardstock narrower than I normally would for a front layer to leave room on the side for the silver glimmer paper to peek out and I colored my pearls and rhinestones with my Coastal Cabana Blendabilities.  Oh.my.word those coastal pearls look good enough to eat!  All of the snowflakes are embossed in either Whisper White or Pool Party.

Here’s an Endless Wish that you love this card as much as I do!
