Happy Birthday Paper Sweeties Blog Hop!



Welcome to the Paper Sweeties 1st Birthday blog hop!  Over the last three days some fabulous designers have showcased the Paper Sweeties line!  This is a very special milestone for Debbie as she launched this new venture 1 year ago!  Happy Birthday Paper Sweeties!

So let's jump right in!  Today I decided to create something for Christmas with a few non-traditional colors...
 
 
Today's card features the O' Christmas Tree 
set. 
 
I used a sketch for this card design.  I stamped the tree image with dark cocoa ink on white card stock and lightly colored the star with an ink marker before adding glitter glue.  If you look closely you can see where I lightly sponged blue ink on the panel as well.  I added a die cut poinsettia with Flower Soft center and a jingle bell tie for interest.  Makes me want to hum Christmas carols! 
 
 Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...
 
Blessings...

Love, love ... LOVE this gorgeous card, Lori! I adore the pretty in pink poinsettia with jingle bells and am smitten with how you showcased the Paper Sweeties Christmas tree image inside a 'snow globe' -- great effect! Thanks for joining us all three days for our 1st birthday celebration :)

Wonderful Christmas card. Especially like the Owl pattern paper background. My daughter likes Owls. Would like to know where you got the Owl paper?

Another darling card, and I really love the little jingle bells. I did my "hopping" today and even left MYSELF a comment today (LOL). Your cards are, as always, SO adorable.
Hugs,

Wow, Lori, this is super cute! I like the way you used the owl paper in the background and tied all the layering into those colors. The dotted poinsettia is a nice surprise, and the word tree is an adorable image!
