Whimsical Christmas and New Year's Blog Hop Dec. 28th and 29th

Welcome to the Whimsical Christmas and New Year’s Blog Hop!  You should have come from Jessica’s blog.  If you are starting here and wish to hop from the beginning of the hop, please visit Jessica’s blog. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this blog hop that will include projects that are not the traditional holiday colors, but instead the beautiful colors that are another option. There were so many items that were such an inspiration for this hop at the stores this year.  

I used an Invoke Arts stamp for the sentiment on the front of this card. I stamped and embossed it in gold. I then placed it on top of the purple sparkle paper, which is Braun + Company glitter gift wrap, from Paper Source, which was punched out using an EK punch.  It is beautiful paper that I bought on a roll. It came in various colors and I had to get them all. LOL.  The bird is from a Jolee’s sticker pack, which was given to me by my BFF for Christmas and placed it on the same purple glitter paper. The fireworks and curly bling are both Jolee’s as well. The ribbon is Celebrations from Michael's. It is all mounted on a piece of teal card stock.

The inside had to be done too. I used piece of the same paper and the same ribbon to tie it together.  I added a piece of bright green card stock, and then added the same ribbon as on the front.  The Happy New Year sentiment was stamped and embossed in gold. It is a Putting on the Ritz stamp. I cut around the image and then backed it with the purple glitter paper. I added a rivet and bling, and then some twine and yarn.  The 2012 is a Jolee’s sticker, which I put on top of an oval punched out of the purple glitter paper, with an EK oval punch, then put it on top of a piece of the teal glitter paper, which was punched using the EK scallop oval punch. Then the two ovals were added on top of a purple oval, punched using my new EK large oval punch.

Your next stop on the hop is Barbara’s blog.   

I am offering blog candy of a set of Inkadinkado 15 circle and dots clear stamps, but you must participate with a comment for both days of the hop.

Whimsical Christmas and New Year's Blog Hop Dec. 28th and 29th

Welcome to the Whimsical Christmas and New Year’s Blog Hop!  You should have come from Jessica’s blog.  If you are starting here and wish to hop from the beginning of the hop, please visit Jessica’s blog. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this blog hop that will include projects that are not the traditional holiday colors, but instead the beautiful colors that are another option. There were so many items that were such an inspiration for this hop at the stores this year.  Since this was a Seattle card and it is the emerald city, I should have used green, but I didn't have the same choices of papers in green, so I chose to use pink. I love the way this card turned out. It is beautiful in person.

I used two Impress Rubber stamps for this card. I stamped and embossed the Seattle skyline image, then for the colors I used various Copics and completed it with stickles. The corners were punched with an EK success corner punch.  I then placed it on top of the pink sparkle paper, which is Braun + Company glitter gift wrap, from Paper Source.  It is beautiful paper that I bought on a roll. It came in various colors and I had to get them all. LOL.  The sentiment stamp was stamped in pink and embossed. I distressed the edge with pink ink and placed it on the same pink glitter paper. The background paper is from a Recollection’s Christmas pack.  I used my distress tool for the edges. My BFF loved this tool, so I bought her one for Christmas. She was ecstatic about the gift. It is so fun to use, but a bit noisy. The ribbon is Celebrations from Michaels. It is all mounted on a piece of pink card stock.

  

The inside had to be done too. I used piece of the same paper for the top part of the card.  I added a piece of bright green card stock, and then added the same ribbon as on the front.  I punched snowflakes out of the same Recollections paper pack, with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch, but only used the center of the snowflake. I used an EK punch out of the pink glitter paper. The Happy Holiday and Ho Ho Ho are both K & Company. 

Your next stop on the hop is Barbara’s blog.   

I am offering blog candy of a set of Inkadinkado 15 circle and dots clear stamps, but you must participate with a comment for both days of the hop.  Don’t forget to come back again tomorrow for the New Year’s project.
