Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Leaves of Holly Christmas Wishes Card

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The theme of the hop this month is winter holidays.

This month, each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created an inspiring project to celebrate a winter holiday. You may have arrived from Julia Mazur's blog. What a great design!

The seasonal images in the Leaves of Holly stamp and die bundle inspired my Christmas Wishes card. 

Leaves of Holly Bundle #159608

And when paired with the beautiful and festive Boughs of Holly designer series paper (DSP) they make a perfect card to send Christmas wishes.

I added a touch of pine bough texture with the Wintry 3D Embossing folder to tie everything together.

Then it was super easy to add a couple of die cuts, a bit of sparkly ribbon, and a stamped greeting!

Leaves of Holly - Bundle Bonus!

Hi Friends!

I have another exciting Bundle Bonus to share with you! The November bundle is any bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog. I chose my favorite bundle, the versatile Leaves of Holly stamp and die bundle to create my project.

Are you wondering what the Bundle Bonus is? Let me tell you about this inspiring program! When you purchase the featured bundle from me, I provide a bonus - all the inspiration you need to create with your new bundle. You get a pdf with lots of inspiring projects my demonstrator friends and I have created using the bundle - and many of them come with video tutorials. The pdf includes project photos, supply lists and measurements for each project.

Leaves of Holly Bundle #159608

Each month we highlight a different bundle. For November, we changed it up a bit so any bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog could be used to create a winter holiday card. I chose my favorite bundle, the Leaves of Holly stamp set and coordinating dies. It's so versatile! I have made plenty of Christmas cards as well as several all occasion cards! It's so easy to make beautiful cards with this bundle especially when adding the coordinating designer series paper (DSP), Boughs of Holly!

And without any further ado, here's my card.

Leaves of Holly Bundle Card

I used a couple of items from the suite collection - the Boughs of Holly DSP, stamped images and die cuts - to create my card. I love the distressed look the Timeworn Type embossed vellum gives and the glimpse of the beautiful Boughs of Holly DSP behind it. I love everything about this festive card!

Non-Holiday Leaves of Holly Card

Hi friends!

The Leaves of Holly bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog is one of my most favorite stamp set and die bundles. Although you may think it is solely a Christmas holiday stamp set, I have found it great for making all occasion cards. 

Leaves of Holly bundle #159608

I recently did a Facebook live where I stamped this all-purpose Thinking of You on Your Special Day card. 

All-Purpose Card in Melon Mambo and Polished Pink

By stamping holly leaves close together I created a textured background that can be easily used for all occaision cards that are definitely not Christmas cards. I used monochromatic colors of Melon Mambo and Polished Pink with a pop of Tuxedo Black Memento ink as a accent.

Sweet Sunflowers Christmas Card

Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing another project featuring elements from the August 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Sunflowers. The Mossy Meadow watercolored card base inspired me to create a Christmas card. I hope this alternative sparks your creativity!

When I saw the Mossy Meadow card base it reminded me of my favorite designer series paper (DSP) in the Jul-Dec Mini catalog, the Boughs of Holly DSP, and I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card. 

I cut the card base and trimmed it to work as a layer then added a gold hive panel that was a free gift in the kit. Perfect! To complete the Christmas festive card, I used the Leaves of Holly stamp and die bundle.
