Holiday cards: PTI Blog Hop
Welcome! I went a little crazy with all the beautiful color inspiration photos and created four cards! I had so much fun using new goodies and the great colors!
For this card, I used the Menorah Medley die to cut the Menorah into my cardfront. I stamped the sentiment and then impressed it with the Linen IP. I then also cut two more menorahs from Hawaiian Shores and Simply Chartreuse to use for the candles and flames.
I stamped the background of this card using BB:Super Stripes with Hawaiian Shores ink onto HS cardstock. I cute the square with the Limitless Layers: Square die and used Peace, Love and Joy to stamp the greeting in Hibiscus Burst ink.
This card has a background impression using Herringbone onto Ocean Tides cardstock. I cut the Star of David (from Menorah Medley dies) with Aqua Mist cardstock and adhered the matching circle behind, cut from Soft Stone.
The last card uses two impression plates: Herringbone for the Ripe Avocado cardstock and Peace Be Still for the Scarlet jewel portion. The image and sentiment, from In the Meadow, were stamped with A Muse ink onto Sweet Blush cardstock. A Sweet Blush satin ribbon was added.
Phew! Thanks for taking a look at my cards!

You were one busy girl! I love every card! The die cutting on the first one is so fun! It looks great! I adore the strips on the second card and the embossing on the third is amazing! The pink bow on the last card makes me happy! :)

Wow--you did such an incredible job on all your cards. I have to say, that I love the Chanukah cards the most, and am pinning them for inspiration. I got my goodies too late to use them for this hop, but I will be making some Chanukah cards this year, and they will probably look just like yours!
So many beautiful cards! I can't possibly pick a favorite! Love the Linen IP on the first card - such a nice subtle, perfect touch!
All four are just gorgeous! It's hard to choose, but I think my favorite is the second Hanukkah card or maybe the Dashing Through the Snow! Or maybe one of the others...Great job on each one. : )
They are all great. I especially like the Hanukkah cards though!

The Hanukkah cards are beautiful. I love the way that you used the colours in the first card! Wonderful variety of cards for the holiday season.
You were a very busy girl!!! WAY TO GO! I love each of these...so different, yet all wonderful. The Hanukkah card with the Ocean Tides Combo is awesome -- love the herringbone impression plate! Also love the first one with the blues and greens...that little bit of texture...lovely! Thanks for sharing these lovlies! :)
Wow! I already originally thought to do a card for every color combo, but only managed one. lol Great cards!
WOW. I don't even know where to start - these are ALL so beautiful! I can't believe the patience you have to assemble that menorah!! I don't know which one I like best, because you did so fantastic with every theme!!
All your cards are fabulous but I really love the first Hannukah card...so many die cut details.
