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.

Definitely a tree, Santa doesn’t have a pointy head!
Again, I love the soft colors you so often choose.
Cute cards.
I “believe” it is a Santa Hat! Cute card!
So pretty and simple too! I saw a tree until you said anything. I think it would look more SAnta hat-ish if the sentiment strip was white.
Darling card! I love the font of the believe sentiment! So elegant and is the perfect size!
What great graphic card. Love it!
For me it is a santa hat. I like the clean and simple look of this your card very much. Thanks for this grest inspiration.
A Santa hat. Trees you can see. Santa you have to Believe in. You know there’s going to be some great debate on this card, right? It would be fun to know what the percentage thought. It is a lovely card by the way.
That evocative triangle is so eye catching! I really don’t want to choose what it is! I love these cards!
Love the card and the color combo Thank you for sharing.
So cute! I saw it as an elf hat.
A great card and I think the triangle is santa’s Hat.

I saw a tree first. I guess its like most art–in the eye of the beholder.
This is an awesome card Shari, the fact that you made it with non Christmas stamps still inspires me to look closer at my own stamps to see what I can do with what I have in my stash. (A great personal challenge for myself…)
I thought it was an adorable tree until you said a Santa hat. I see an elf hat, hahaha. Super cute either way. TFS.
I love this!
A cheery, little card. I saw a tree first.
