Ode to Holly



In keeping with Thursday's post of CAS scrumptiousness, here's an Ode to Holly. It's not quite as dramatic as the Ode to Mistletoe, but oh my golly it's jolly, don't you think?

Supplies
stamps: PTI Signature Christmas
ink: real red
paper: PTI white, Hobby Lobby green textured
accessories: holly punch, red rhinestones

    Oh Susan, I think you have just solved my christmas card dilemma!!
    I LOVED the cards you showed us on Wednesday but don't have that punch...I didn't think hard enough...I have this holly punch :)
    I'm off to dig it out right now :)
    Thanks once again for the inspiration!!

    Well of course I had to go order that "mistletoe" punch pronto. I found it only at impressrubberstamps, thank heavens for Google!

    I like the holly too, but the "mistletoe" tickles my fancy because it doesn't even resemble real mistletoe yet it calls to mind kissing under the mistletoe. It's light-hearted. I'm always looking for that because my cards all seem way too formal.

    Today Feedburner didn't send a link to your Blog, which may be why there's only one comment on this card? Rhetorical question, if I was the only one who didn't get your Blog link today.

    Bahb,

    I scheduled the holly card to post at 1:00am Saturday morning. The craft room post was Friday's post. Usually, Feedburner sends the email in the evening or at night after I post, but their timing is a mystery to me. I got an email with both posts in one this morning.

    I'm so glad you like the mistletoe card so much and actually found the fern punch! I bought that 7 or 8 years ago in a little stamp shop that's out of business, and it's not labeled with a manufacturer.

    Susan

    Another beatiful card. I really am going to have to checkout PTI, they have such elegant sentiment stamps! (I tend to like to "see" what I'm buying, but there seems to be a lot of positive feedback on PTI's products...)

    I think the shape of the leaves and the deeper green color really make this card stand out from the white background. Fun!

    I love that you always have the perfectly sized sentiment for the image you are using. I clearly have a shortfall in my Christmas sentiment stamps.
    This is a beautiful card.
