Santa Joy + Giveaway
As some of you may have noticed, I haven’t done a new release this month….yet. I have products all ready and the goal is to have them all up by November 15th. We’re expecting some sunny days this week, which means I get to film some videos and get these product photos taken care of. Oy, with this overcast and rainy weather, it’s so hard to get some of my day-to-day things done!
Today I wanted to share a card that I may using some Mama Elephant stamps- you know I love them! For this card I used the Cozy Christmas and Block Party Letters sets to create a mini scene. I’ll come right out and say that I think the metallic red sequins on the Christmas tree ties this card together. No fussy bows or twine on this card- just some basic stamping, coloring and sequins!
For those who are wondering the best adhesive to use for sequins, I HIGHLY recommend the Studio Multi Medium Matte. It dries clear, has a super strong hold and you can add as much, or as little, as you want to secure your embellishments. You can find it at Simon Says Stamp HERE or Ellen Hutson HERE.
GIVEAWAY ALERT: I’m giving away an extra Cozy Christmas set that I purchased in this post. With the holidays right around the corner, be on the lookout for all sorts of giveaways onĀ my blog and social media accounts. I’ve purchased all sorts of goodies to give away to YOU, my amazing readers and customers!
That’s going to wrap up today’s little post. I’ll see some of you later on my social media sites- I just love interacting with you all on my Facebook page and Instagram– reading your sweet comments and always makes my day a little brighter!
Until next time…

That goes for card making, tree decorating, cookie decorating, etc. This year, I bought a fun quilted table runner that is red, white and blue and I’m thinking I will incorporate that into all of my decorating this 2014 year, but I never really know until I’m in the middle of it!
