Our Blog Hop is all about the Songs of Christmas and the inspiration for my project comes from the song "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
I was so excited to be a part of this blog hop that my inner crafting elf took control and I created 2 cards. Since I couldn't decided which card I liked best, I am going to showcase them both.
For my first card, I used the fabulous Countdown to Christmas collection from Bazzill. I really love the bold colours and fun prints in this collection. The adorable image is a digi from Sassy Cheryl called "It Takes One to Know One."
The image is coloured with Copics. I added Glossy Accents to the Christmas bauble and a bit of Glitter Ritz fine glitter to the trim of the tree. The sentiment is from a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set called "Just Chillin".
The inside sentiment is from Your Next Stamp and the tree is Hero Arts.
On my second card I used Simple Stories December Documented. I LOVE Simple Stories and this collection is amazing. There are so many great colours and patterns; I have used this line on a number of holiday cards. The image is from a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set called "Christmas Cheer". Isn't she cute? She is definitely rockin' that tree!
This image is coloured with Copics. Again I added Glossy Accents for the baubles and distressed everything with vintage photo Distress ink.
If you've seen my cards before you will know a card for me is not fully complete without the inside being decorated. So, the best way to "Rock" any Christmas tree is............PRESENTS!
Inside I created a present pop up using scraps of paper and ribbon. I heat embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment (Hero Arts) and the tag sentiment is from a 3x4 cut apart sheet in the December Documented collection.
