Jolly Holiday

Happy New Year, welcome to 2025 and thanks for visiting my blog!!!

Time flies doesn't it. Well looks like it's time for the next challenge over at the Love To Scrap Challenge blog. I know that Christmas is over, however, I know that some of you all enter Christmas challenges throughout the year so I thought I'd make my card with a Christmas theme. And since the challenge mentions the word scrap, I try to use scraps on my project. (And boy do I have a lot of scraps. LOL)

This card came about because I saw a stamp that I really liked but since I couldn't get it in time for Christmas, I decided to make a freehand rendition of the stamped image. 

I used scraps of various DP's from my stash to create the tree. I like to think of it as a paper pieced tree. 

I cut the pieces to look like the stamp that I saw online and mounted the DP pieces onto black CS and trimmed the black CS in the shape of the tree (triangle). 

Next I layered the tree onto gold DP CS and trimmed that as well. 

Next I used a stencil to add some interest on the right side of the white CS layer. 

I attached the tree to the white card layer and then added the white card layer to the red card base. 

I added a stump and the gold star at the top.

I had a few holly leaves sitting on my desk and thought they would look great on the left of the tree. I added 3 flat back red pearls to accent the holly leaves. 

Next, I stamped the sentiment onto white CS, fussy cut  that, and layered that onto the green CS and attached the sentiment to the card top area. 

Well that is it for this card. I love how it turned out. I will be making this card for my 2025 Christmas cards that I send out.

Hope this gives you some inspiration and hope you will try this one out. 

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon.
