I'm loving this next little series of cards! I got the idea from Jen on her JENerally Speaking blog. She used cute little stickers instead of the stamps I used. I had so much fun putting them together! I'll be making a few more of them for sure--very easy!
I die cut the postage stamp piece, then used a square punch that's a little smaller. I stamped the image, glitzed it up, and adhered everything. That's the general recipe I used for the next four cards I'll be posting.
For this one, I stamped the holly then added Xmas Red Stickles on the berries and Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles for the leaves. I used Tim Holtz's pokey stick tool thing to move the Rock Candy around into the points of the leaves.
Then I stamped a big ol' sentiment along the bottom and, stick a fork in me, I was DONE! =D
Supplies:
Paper: Reminisce (Candycane); Bazzill (green cardstock); Recollections (white cardblank)
Stamps: We R Memory Keepers (Merry Christmas set); Recollections (Peace stamp)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Forest Moss)
ETC: Stickles (Xmas Red, Clear Rock Candy Distress); Cuttlebug (postage stamp die cut); Marvy (1-inch square punch); Glue Glider Pro; Tonic--Tim Holtz (Retractable Craft Pick...AKA the pokey stick thing)
I can't believe tomorrow starts Advent! I use my December Daily as part Advent, part Christmas journal/scrapbook/Smash Book thing so I'll start filling that up Sunday. WHERE DID THIS YEAR GO????

PS: If you want a good (clean!) laugh, check these videos out. I laughed myself silly watching them!! Kid History Episode 4 is HILARIOUS.

Love the holly and berries with the embossed sentiment!
The way you have used the white space to draw the eyes to your focal point highlights the adorable square! I need to get my kids' advent calendar ready - thanks for the reminder!
