Holly Joy

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have a simple and quick Christmas card to share with you.

Last year, I saw a lot of Christmas cards with this color combo and wanted to try it - I have not used this green for Christmas cards before. I must say this is a new favorite for Christmas cards now. I used the Hero Arts - Holly stamp and stamped it with Embossing ink on the green cardstock. I used the Brutus Monroe - Grass Stain ink to ink the edges of the panel. For the sentiment, I die cut The Greetery - Abundant Joy die on the same color card stock and gold card stock. I added a few gems and that's it!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Brutus Monroe - Unity Stamps Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Today is a very exciting day!! Brutus Monroe is collaborating with Unity Stamps to release a set of beautiful background stamps and we are celebrating it with a blog hop with both Design Teams together! Here's what I created with one of the new stamps:

Unity Stamps and Brutus Monroe has come together to release a set of 4 background stamps in red rubber!! And they're so beautiful! You can check Barn Wall (the one I have used), Dance with Denim, Hit the Brick and Spilled Paint here. I decided to make a Christmas card with the Barn Wall stamp. I stamped the background with Maple surface ink on white card stock. Then I inked the card stock with  Maple surface ink to give a tone on tone look. I then gold embossed the sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set and the pine leaves from last year's Holiday Inspiration Box with Gilded embossing powder. I then adhered this on to an A2 card base. I took a piece of scrap card stock and applied Deco Foil Transfer Gel over one particular ornament from the Ornament stencil. Once dry, I foiled it with gold foil. I stamped the Holly sprig from last year's Holiday Inspiration Box with Sidewalk ink and colored it with my copics for no-line coloring. I then fussy cut and colored the edges with the same color markers. I then adhered a piece of golden twine on to the ornament and adhered the ornament on to the barn wall background with foam tape. I adhered the holly sprig and a few star shaped sequins with glue. I loosely wrapped a piece  of golden twine around the sprig.
