ABC (Anything but a Card) Holiday Blog Hop

It's time for a fun ABC (Anything But a Card) Holiday blog hop!  You just might get some last minute gift ideas, or some inspiration for your next crafty project.  (If you're already hopping, then you've probably arrived from Melinda's blog.  From here, you'll visit Darlys's blog next.)

My project began with the chipboard monogram letters to spell out JOY.  (I actually scored this set- letters and gold glitter cutout overlays- at a recent CTMH flash sale, but you could easily cut your own.)  I used the CTMH/Cricut Flower Market cartridge to cut these lovely poinsettia flowers from Candy Apple and New England Ivy cardstock and 3.5" and 3".

 You can see the Candy Apple cardstock cuts and then how I bent them with my fingers to make them a little more authentic.

Liquid Glass is my go-to adhesive for this type of project!

A gold glitter gem finished off each flower center.

Here are the letters in my window sill.  The "J" doesn't stand well on its own.  I am thinking about adding ribbon to hand each letter in the window or on one of our French doors.

The possibilities with the monogram chipboard letters are endless!  You could easily make a lovely monogram for your home.  Thank you very much for hopping by!  I'd love a comment before you leave to see what Darlys has created!
