Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around CHRISTMAS. It’s a wonderful time of year, and we are having lots of fun with our Christmas-themed projects. We are so excited to share them with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Hello my dumplings and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. It’s that time again, Blog Hop time. The theme? I’ll give you one guess . . . that’s right Christmas. Such smart little dumplings, you make Miss Hammie so proud. I decided to try something a teeny bit different for this blog hop, so you’ll have to leave a comment and tell me what you think.
I used several items from the Christmastime is Here Suite. Those included:
3 of the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots
Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper
Christmastime Rose Stamp Set
Roses Dies
I also used:
Watercolor Paper
Old Olive Card stock
Tombow Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue
Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
Gold colored 5” x 7” picture frame
I cut the watercolor paper to 5”x7”. I layered a piece of designer series paper that I cut to 4.5”x6” onto the watercolor paper, that served as my background. Using one of the Roses dies and the Big Shot I cut out one of the large roses from a piece of designer series paper. I wanted to add a little thickness so I use the same die to cut out a rose using Old Olive card stock. I adhered it to the back of the DSP rose using liquid glue. I placed this in the center of my background piece.
Using a label die from the Roses die set and a scrap of the watercolor paper I created a label that I stamped my sentiment on. The sentiment is in the Christmas Rose stamp set.
I used watercolor paper because I like the texture, but you could just as easily use Whisper White Card stock.
