FESTIVE FRIDAY CHRISTMAS CARD BLOG HOP

IT'S RETRO SANTA
     It's the last Blog Hop of the year and you have probably come from The Robin's Nest and now your here, at Carol Berns.  It's hard to believe this Hop is over, but now I get to mail out all the cards I made throughout the year, lucky me.
     This card was inspired by some scrapbook items I received from a friend who lost her mother and gave me some of her things, so I created "Retro Santa' who really has a folk-art look.  I found a set of stamps that are 50's retro and felt they added the perfect touch.  I added Stickles and inking along with buttons, which were so popular at the time this paper was created. Now it's time to send you to Michelle Cummings, but before I do I would like to take the time to wish you a Holiday Celebration filled with blessings, joy, good health and a house filled with loved ones.  Thank you for your support and I look forward to sharing with you in the New Year...keep smiling, Carol

FESTIVE FRIDAY CHRISTMAS CARD BLOG HOP

NOEL
     WOW, am I really getting in the mood for Christmas, and I just could not contain my excitement so, Bli-bling, Bli-bling.  There is just no such thing as too much Glitz and Glitter for the Holidays.  So, welcome to the second to last posting for our Hop, and you probably came from The Robin's Nest. Would you like to learn how to make this card?  It's easy.
     This is all you'll need:
One plain card 5 1/2"x 4 1/2"
Red Cardstock 5 1/4"x4 1/4"
Green Decorative Paper (I topped it with Green Glitter Tulle)
Red Tulle 12"
Tim Holtz Die "Noel 25"
Silver Glitter Paper for 'Noel" and a small piece of Red for numbers.
     See how simple yet so lovely, in fact, I think I'll go back into my art room and make more. 
So off you go to Michelle Cummings  for more Holiday loveliness, enjoy and keep smiling, Carol.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TAG CARD

 Welcome to this week's Festive Friday Blog Hop. You should have come from The Robin’s nest  , and if you get lost I have included a complete Blog Hop list at the bottom of this post.  SO,
'Tis Almost the Season...really almost, and I have been in a Tag Making mode, so far 30 tags made.  I decided to make a card using one of the tags to show just how easy it is to recycle this year's tags into next year's cards.

I used:
  Green Glitter Paper for my base,
  Creating Keepsakes Holly Paper,
  Dark Green Cardstock for Tag Base,
  Red Cardstock,
  "Merry Christmas" stamp with Black ink,
  Transparent Peal Pen, Holly Green Stickles
  and Flower attached with a silver Brad.
Have fun creating your Tags this year and don't forget to save them for your next year's Cards.
Happy creating and keep smiling :)),  Carol ...and now, off you go to Michelle Cummings  to complete your Hop.

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Christmas Cheer

     So excited to be able to be part of this FESTIVE FRIDAY BLOG HOP, almost didn't make it.  It's amazing how dependent we have become on the cyber-life.  Here is my entry and it is made with, you guessed it, Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium line of paper and this was very simple, and I decided to keep it that way.  All I did is attach the graphic to red cardstock and add the sentiment with two brads.
    So off you go to Michelle Cummings    , enjoy the rest of the Hop,
keep smiling and keep those creative juices flowing, Carol

It's the Gift from the Heart

If you are viewing this card then you have come from The Robin’s nest  .  Thank you for participating in the FESTIVE FRIDAY BLOG HOP,  have you enjoyed it thus far?  ...I thought so and I thought you might like to know something about my card so here we go:


SUPPLIES:  For this one I went a little wild with supplies. I figured I had them and wanted to see just how many I could combine, so I  used the new Graphic 45 Christmas paper, Green Rayon Ribbon, Fancy Pants Stamps, Tim Holtz Christmas Stamp Set, Tim Holtz Flower and Flourish Die Cuts, Red and Clear Pearl Pens, Black Bling Flourish and 1 Doille, Red Ink and Stardust Stickles, and finally, Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer for Flower Centers.


INSTRUCTIONS:  
1.  Stamp all your components and cut Paper to highlight Flourish on left side.
2.  Die Cut all your flowers and Flourishes.
3.  Use Pearl Pens to embellish Red Stamped Flourish.  Use Clear Pearl Pen on Green Die Cut Flourish.
4.  Ink edges of Doile and adhere then place Stamped and Cout-out Gift.  Add Ribbon and Tag.
5.  Cut out Sentiment (I used Christmas Carol) and Double Mount on two different Papers and Stickle Edges of one.
6.  Add Flowers...and you're done.


Now it's time to visit the remaining artists on this Blog Hop so continue over to Michelle Cummings and enjoy.  If you did not get the opportunity to see everyone's post I have supplied the complete list.  Feel free to visit and re-visit everyone...and please post a comment, we love to hear from you.  
Happy Hopping, keep those creative juices flowing and keep smiling, Carol
