Merry Christmas Blessings Blog Hop

It's time to get ready to craft for the holidays, and you're sure to find some incredible ideas along this Merry Christmas Blessings blog hop!  (If you're already hopping then you've probably arrived from Darlys's blog.  From here you'll visit Krista's blog next.)

My first project is a card using the Christmas Blessings stamp set and Mink card stock for my card base.  I stamped the "O come let us adore him" sentiment in Charcoal and then sprinkled silver embossing powder on top.  After heat-setting, I added the piece of Boutique patterned paper that I had cut an oval with my Cuttlebug and Thin Cuts.  I stamped the holy family with Charcoal ink and then the stars and shepherds with Pewter ink.

A little silver trim and gems finished off this card.  I think that its simplicity helps focus on the true reason for the season!

I also created an ornament with this stamp set, Peacock card stock, Charcoal ink, silver embossing powder, and our shaker windows.  You can read about this project HERE.
