Merry Christmas Eve friend! One more Christmas card to share with you before the big day. This card features the Christmas Means More stamp set and the 'Tis The Season designer series paper. Using a colour not listed on the designer series paper is a great way to make your image or sentiment pop! On this card I've used Rich Razzleberry. And do you see those Iridescent Pearls? They are green or purple or blue depending on the light! A great edition to this card.

Hello and welcome to Pretty Cards & Paper December Blog Hop! This month we are using the Peony Garden designer series paper for our projects.
Have you noticed the beautiful projects in our catalogues? I sometimes forget to go through the catalogue and look at just the samples rather than daydream which products I'm going to order next. Do you go back to look at the projects? 
 
This card is a case of one found on page 33 (the middle card). Instead of creating a Christmas card I've switched it up by using the Tasteful Touches stamp set. The hello is part of a larger stamp. The best way to use a portion of a stamp is to use a Stampin' Write Marker, in this case a Basic Black marker, to colour the portion of the stamp you want to use, then stamp as you normally would onto the cardstock.

Next up you can visit these other blogs to see what they are sharing with us today:

Melon Mambo isn't a colour I would normally use for Christmas but it was one of the colours used in the Plaid Tidings designer series paper and it paired along with Misty Moonlight creates a gorgeous non-traditional Christmas colour combo. What colours do you like using on your cards?

Welcome! December's Colour Combo is Gray Granite, Real Red and Cinnamon Cider. A great combo for Christmas an many other projects.
Can you smell the cinnamon when you use Cinnamon Cider cardstock or ink? It makes me think of apple cider simmering on the stove with cinnamon sticks. Yum! Maybe I should heat some up today. Do you have a warm drink you like to drink during the cooler months? It would be neat to hear about your favourite that I could try.

Have you noticed the Gold Cards & Envelopes in the Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue? I love the gold design on the cards. A great base for Christmas cards! Keep in mind that these Gold Cards & Envelopes are retiring and only available while supplies last. Don't your love the saying on this card? The Christmas Means More stamp set is a great set with seasonal sentiments. In the card above its stamped with Memento black ink with the ivy coloured in with Stampin' Blends.
