Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! And don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets -- you can find them HERE. This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the Flower Soft and The Shabby Tea Room challenge blog design teams! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!

Good morning! For this week's Christmas Blog Hop I created a Christmas card with non-traditional Christmas colors. I love the soft pretty colors of the pinks and orange. To create this card I used the NEW JustRite Cling CL-02030 Simple Blessings stamp set from JustRite Stampers. This stamp set includes 4 beautiful images to color and 5 sentiments.I stamped the image of the church with Rich Cocoa ink and added color with Copic Markers.Next I colored the stain glass windows and doors. After I had the image colored I hand cut the church out.I stamped the image of the church a second time and and added inks for a sunrise.Next I stamped two of the holly and berry images and then colored with Copics.Here is a close up of the church and the holly. I used S4-288 Classic Diamonds dies #1, #2, #6 to cut/emboss and layer the images. I also used S4-294 Beaded Ovals die #4 to create the oval diecut. I used 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ for the layering.I stamped the sentiment using Rich Cocoa ink and cut/embossed the tag using S4-235 Fancy Tags. I added glitter and pearls for a little sparkle.
