Welcome to the Paper Crafts World Card Making Day Blog Hop! As one of the winners from the 2011 WCMD contest, I was invited to participate in today's hop along with 15 other talented ladies.
Here's a look at my winning card last year....
For my card today I took inspiration directly from the card above -- the color combo, trees, twine, banner greeting -- it all inspired me to make this card.
That awesome chevron pattern on the bottom was created using this new Hero Arts Snowflakes and Edges stamp -- I love it embossed it white!
The "merry" portion of the sentiment is die cut from the Memory Box Parker Alphabet die and the "christmas to you" is stamped from this set.
Your next stop on the hop is Alyssa Scritchfield!
Have a great day!
Great cards, Kelly!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute card- love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I like everything about it! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Kelly! That is a fantastic background stamp. I first thought it was designer paper. Better to have a stamp and so much versatility.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The color combo is one of may favorites, too.
ReplyDeleteLove how you added aqua with the more traditional colors
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh! This is great! Fab colors, and the embossing is wonderful! Love it. : ) Bev
ReplyDeleteLove your colors, Kelly, and seeing some of the new holiday stamps in action!
ReplyDeleteSUPER CARD!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST say, I have a couple stamps LIKE these trees! (NOT 3 but, 2!) I have been BAFFLED as HOW TO use them! (Since MOST OF THE TIME 3 would be used!) NOW, I know what to do with them seeing your card!!!!!!!!!! SUPER!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly these are AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, Kelly! Love the pretty colors! The white embossed, bottom portion looks gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother new technique...I am going to try to emboss a stamp over a stamp during my card making tomorrow. I love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteOoh, great card!
ReplyDeleteLove this colour combo for a holiday card, so very festive!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards. I love the choices of colors too.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colors. Using green and red all the time gets tiresom - even though they are supposed to be
ReplyDelete"the" colors or Christmas. Bright and cheerful card.
Great card and I like the way the twine pops on the card.

I could see right off that you'd used last year's winner for your inspiration this year. Why not? You shouldn't mess too much with a winner. This year's card is equally wonderful. It's got just the right balance of color and texture and embellishment. Nice work, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the texture
ReplyDeleteI love both versions of this card! Fun to see your winner from last year and your creation this year!
