Hi, crafty friends! I’m excited to be part of Taheerah Atchia’s 2017 Advent Calendar Extravaganza.

Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration!

I created a fun, colorful, and festive Christmas card inspired by my own card that I created last year. It’s always fun to mix and match small stamps from different stamp sets to create my own background.
I combined three stamp sets from Paper Smooches to create my own background: Merry Motifs, Holly Jolly, and Giddy Gumdrops.
I started by drawing an oval shape on my card front using the Hero Arts Nesting Oval Infinity Die and pencil.
Then I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly stamp set and the gingerbread man image from the Giddy Gumdrops stamp set inside the oval frame with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink on A2 size white cardstock.
Next, I randomly stamped various Christmas images outside the oval frame using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink while overlapping some images using the masking technique.
After stamping is done, I colored my images with Copic markers and added some dots/dash lines with Uni-Ball White Gel Pen to add interest to some of my colored images.
I stamped the sentiment from the Giddy Gumdrops stamp set with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink on a piece of white cardstock. Then I cut into a thin strip and mounted the sentiment banner on the card front using foam tape.
I added some interest to some of my images by applying Ranger Star Dust Stickles, Mini Glossy Accents, and Wink of Stella Glitter White Brush.

I made a video tutorial to show you how to make my Christmas card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube.

Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your web site in web explorer, might test this…
IE still is the marketplace leader and a good component of other people will
omit your magnificent writing because of this problem.
Have a look at my homepage – http://www.lubertsi.net

Heya are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need
any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but
have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with
experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I think what you said made a ton of sense. But, what about this?
what if you typed a catchier post title? I am not saying your information is not good., however suppose you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean Video | Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia + Giveaway
– Mayholic Design is kinda boring. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article titles to grab viewers to click.
You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited
about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could
make your blog a little livelier.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks|
