Altenew Crafty Friends Blog Hop Day 1 with Shari Carroll
Welcome to the Altenew Crafty Friends Blog Hop!!! If you’re coming from Laura Jane‘s blog, you’re in the right place. We are celebrating our unique stamping community by sharing projects inspired by what we love, stamping and crafting!!
Right now, I’m inspired to make Christmas cards. I thought it would be fun to use some non-holiday stamps to create my card. I used the Altenew Watercolor Dots and Holiday Script Words to create a clean and simple look.
I stamped the star images first and silver embossed them. Next, I stamped the dots in white to finish off my quick background. I cut a triangle from red cardstock and mounted it to the card with a silver circle at the top. I used the “Believe” die from the Holiday Script Words die set from Silver Silk Tonic paper mounted to a strip of Slate cardstock. Pretty easy peasy!!!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
My question to you: Is the triangle on my card a tree or a Santa hat? I’d love to hear your answers!!!
Are you ready to do some more hoping??? Your next stop is to the talented Lilith Eeckels. I’ve listed the entire blog hop participants below in case you encounter any broken links.

Cute card and cute idea for a simple quick holiday card
your card is so creative, Shari – love the gray, silver and red combo – fantastic!!
Great card! I think it looks more like a tree!
I thought it was a tree, but could be a Santa hat, too! Love this card!
I LOVE this card! And I LOVE how you used non-Christmas stamps to make it. This makes it so simple and easy! My first thought was tree, but after looking at it for a minute I thought it could go the Santa hat way also.
Your Christmas card is so pretty! I think the triangle is a tree, although I’m still going back and forth(lol). I really loved how texturized it looks!
I love the silver and red! Your card is stunning
I love the drops on that red tree
Initially I saw it as a Santa hat.
I think it looks like Santa hat!! I love the drops on the “hat”.
I appreciate these clever ideas to stretch my “general” stamps. I saw a Christmas tree at first, but I can totally see it the other way. But either way, it’s a super fun card. Thanks for sharing, being one of the sponsors of this hop, and being such an awesome part of the crafty community!
At first look, I saw a tree, but since you asked, it could be Santa’s hat! Love it, whatever it is!
Love this modern card…and it’s definitely a tree!
That’s a clever way to use silver embossed snowflake against silver backgroung
Love to see the unique ways crafters think outside the box! Which accounts for the fact that there are SO many techniques! Somebody had to thunk ‘em up! ? thanks for sharing a quick easy card to duplicate or mass produce!
Such a lovely card, love the background.
What a great idea to use non holiday stamps. Love the quick and easy background!
I really like the colors you chose for this card. Very pretty!!
Such adorable card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Quick, easy, festive, and fun, I love this card!! Well, I thought the triangle was a tree until you asked the question then I could see it as a Santa Hat too lol.
