Merry Christmas & Happy New Year


The Studio is trimmed with pine and decorated in glowing lights in celebration of Christmas.  

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing this time of rejoicing with our family and friends and would like to wish you a blessed holiday filled with love, hope and peace.

We look forward to seeing you in the New Year
 with more artful adventures.

Today I am 
and celebrating with 
the 12 Days of Trees!


Hop in your sleigh and join me at Inchie Arts (HERE) to see the tree I found hidden in their fabulous Art Squares.




Oh Christmas Tree; 2 of 2: Elizabeth

It's time to deck the halls and set up the Christmas tree!  Which tree is going in the STUDIO?  Penny Black's 40-344 Oh Christmas Tree, of course!


I am so excited to have this stamp as our feature this week.
I enjoy working this image so much!

Today I used Oh Christmas Tree as my focal point.

And decorated it with lots of watercolor and glitter.

I split the sentiment into two parts.  
One for an embellishment on the front and the second for a greeting inside.
For complete card instructions and supplies click HERE.

In the past, I have also used it as a background.
Instructions available HERE

And to add a patterned design on a die cut element.

Oh, the possibilities!


Oh Christmas Tree; 1 of 2:Jill

It's time to deck the halls and set up the Christmas tree!  Which tree is going in the STUDIO?  Penny Black's 40-344 Oh Christmas Tree, of course!
I've already used this stamp in a more traditional way (check out that video HERE), so today I've decided to use the beautiful flourishes for the background stamping on my watercolor panel.
View the complete video tutorial for this card HERE.
Just for fun, I also used this stamp on a non holiday card, too. 
I can't wait to see what Elizabeth has done with this image.  It's sooo fun to share in a same-stamp artful endeavor!  And 40-344 Oh Christmas Tree is also being featured on the Penny Black blog last week- check it out HERE.
