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.
For more information on prizes, please stop by the Altenew Card Blog and Altenew Scrapbook Blog!
Thanks for stopping by today, have fun being inspired as you hop along!!!
