Hi there! Thanks for joining us today on the Taylored Expressions Holiday Hoopla Blog Hop! So many cool, crafty ladies have projects to inspire you for Christmas time! I hope you're having fun hopping around looking at everything! My choice for today was to make an invitation using the super swanky and cool Merry Little Cocktail stamp set! I love the cool vibe of it. (Click here to order the whole set)
There are 22 designers today showcasing Christmas/Winter/Holiday stamp sets from TE with samples that include all types of projects. We worked really hard to coordinate and bring you a good variety of things. We want to inspire you to get your holiday crafts done! Be sure to read the whole post…because there's a very good coupon waiting for you!
You can see the whole list of hoppers by going to Taylor's Blog first. You should have arrived here from Corinna McGregor's Blog!
Here is my invite: The information is on the card that fits into the pocket on the front…I kept it relatively flat so it would be an easy card to mail out.
And here's the inside! Love that Christmas martini! Ack!
The small holly berry stamp is perfect for accents… And I love the sentiments in this set!
The images were colored using this classically Christmas color palette of Copics. (Say that three times fast!)
The red part of the card is an A2 standard size piece of paper. The bright green is folded in half to make the pocket for the invitation to slide into. This is a fun way to layer elements and would really work for any kind of card! The cool diamond paper can be found HERE!
Don'tcha love the sparkly border!?
