Deck the Halls

It's a beautiful sunny morning in Southern California. A good day to be alive. I hope to finish creating the cards for my card class today and then do some reading. Nice day to relax on the deck and contemplate the holidays coming up so fast.

This is my last Christmas card for the class and doesn't need too much explaining.



The recipe for the card is:

Stamp set: Bells and Boughs

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Deck the Halls DSP

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Scallop Corner Trim Punch and Stampin' Dimensionals

I cased this card from someone and tweaked it a little to make it mine. If you recognize who made this first let me know and I will give them credit. I have looked at so many blogs lately and just don't remember where I see what I like. I must start writing it down, I guess. Anyway, I hope you like it and that it will inspire you to create your own.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a blessed day!

Thanks so much Laurie, I am very honored to receive this. Be sure to visit Laurie's blog to get some great ideas.

I think this award is just the Cherry on Top of all that has happened to me recently. I am so honored to be a Guest Designer on Ustamp with Dawn and Friends and to have been part of the Royal Blog Tour. Now I will follow the directions given to me with this award and pass it on to some I think are very deserving of it.

Jolly Old Saint Nick

Hi everyone,

Sorry it took me so long to recover from the tour (lol). Guess I must be getting older or something.

I want to tell you how I did the blue top note on the Lovely As a Tree card for the Royal Blog Tour. I used the 1 3/4" circle punch. I punched on either side of the long side of the top note first. I put my punch as far in as it would go. I next punched the ends of the top note the same way. I then went back in on each corner and punched again. I made a nice wide opening for the stamp to fit in. I layed my top note on top of the Whisper White and then stamped the trees through the opening. It worked out great. Hope I see lots of cards out there done with this technique in the future.

Now for my current creation. My card class is coming up next Saturday the 20th and everyone wants to do the two tree cards I did for the blog. I decided we should do one more Christmas card along with them but a more traditional one and this is what I came up with.

Here is the recipe for this one:

Stamp set: Jolly Old Saint Nick

Cardstock: Real Red, Always Artichoke and Whisper White

Ink: Black Staz on and Always Artichoke

Accessories: Real Red and Bashful Blue Markers, Scallop Oval and Wide Oval punches. Modern Label and Decorative Label punches, silver brads, mini glue dots and Stampin' dimensionals.

It's an easy card to make but so cute. I remember going to see Santa in the park when I was young and he used to wink at me the way this one is. Sure brought back good memories of my childhood.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed night!

My blog winner was Donna Thames from Florida! Thanks Donna for your comments and thanks to all the rest of my visitors for your wonderful comments as well. I wish you all could have been winners.

It was such a joy to be part of this marvelous tour and to see all the other entries on different tour paths. We have so many talented people in this business. I am awed at the fact I could be a part of all this.

I want to Welcome all my new subscribers and I will be posting new ideas the end of the week.

Royal Blog Tour - Lovely As A Tree

Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour and to my castle.

This is my first time as A Royal Blog Tour Princess. Below you will find my first project that I created for the tour.
The stamp set I used for all three projects is 'Lovely As A Tree'. For this card I used Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla cardstock and Jolly Holiday DSP. I love this stamp set and hope it never retires. I think it is my all time favorite.



This card is my second project for the tour. I really love it done in blues. I always used to use Night of Navy and Brocade Blue together and the Brocade Blue was retired this past summer. I didn't think I would find another to go with it but Bashful Blue is not too bad. Of course my stamp set again is 'Lovely As A Tree'. I just love dazzling diamonds also.



My third and last project is a 'yummy' one. Nothing says I love you like Chocolate. This tin filled with Hersey's chocolate nuggets is about as good as good gets! That's what I think anyway. Hope you all feel the same as I am giving these projects away as blog candy on the tour.


If you would like to be eligible for my blog candy drawing you must, No 1 e-mail me at my e-mail address, which you will find toward the top of the right column here on my blog,with your full name, address and e-mail address, No 2 leave a comment on my Royal Blog post. Good luck to all of you.



Thanks for stoppin in! I hope you will check out all the entries on the tour and leave comments to the talented Queens and Princesses who are participating. I know there are many great projects for you to enjoy. You can start by clicking on one of the slippers below!

Happy touring!

Have a Blessed Day!

Holly Jolly DSP

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I had to design my projects for Ustamp With Dawn and Friends and my projects for the Royal Blog Tour which starts on Friday. Pretty busy month with card classes and workshops etc. I guess no excuse is sufficient but I really had to say something for my negligence.

Anyway my grandson Gabe had his ninth birthday this month and I had to design a card for him. I decided to combine birthday and Halloween wishes together. I think it turned out pretty cool......... At least that's what Gabe would say!

It takes so little to make this card and it is so easy. I used one piece of DSP and a few scraps of Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. The Two Tag Bigz Die and the Big Shot made the tags. I just love that die. You will probably see these on a lot of my cards from now on.

The Have A Fang-tastic and the little Dracula came from the Fang-tastic stamp set and the other sentiments are from the Level 1 Hostess Set called After Thoughts.

I think this style card will come in handy for most money or gift cards that I give from now on. I made one from the Lap of Luxury DSP. It has Life is Beautiful written all over it. I thought that would make a nice Bridal gift card or an Anniversary gift card. You can find the tutorial to make this card on Split Coast Stampers.com.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a blessed night!
