H is for . . . Holly

It's that time of year again . . .
we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and
what better way to do it than playing along with the
at

The prompt from Day 9 is the letter H

My "H" is a gorgeous vase of Holly from the
Blessing Of The Season digital stamp set from Beccy's Place.

Unfortunately I can't colour at the moment (still recovering from a fall with a couple of broken bones in my arm) so it is a real bonus having pre-coloured images in this set of digital stamps.

I remember Beccy sharing a card made using the cropped vase of holly image
and thought it looked so elegant, so now it's my turn to make some.

I opened the digital stamp in my Silhouette Studio program and cut the right edge off the image to make it fit neatly into a square.  I added a digital sentiment then printed it on textured cardstock, matting the image panel with several layers of contrasting cardstock before adhering it to a sturdy card base.




This pair of cards are 6 1/8" square.

G is for . . . Gnomes (2)



These gnomish cards are 7" wide by 5" high.

How could I see the letter "G" and not think of the adorable little
Gnomes In My Garden digital stamp set from Beccy's Place?

My previous post has three little gnomes getting festive and this card is an even more CAS version.
I used the pre-coloured images from the Gnomes In My Garden digital stamp set and the sentiment from the Merle digital stamp sets, both are from Beccy's Place.
Unfortunately I can't colour at the moment (still recovering from a fall with a couple of broken bones in my arm) so it is a real bonus having pre-coloured images and fun sentiments in these sets of digital stamps.

Check out these adorable little gnomes looking all festive with the hats decorated with bling.  Do you think they are on the naughty or the nice list?
