It's WAW 5th Annual Christmas Blog Hop Time

Hurray!  Are you ready for FUN and PRIZES?  Well, if so; you're in the right place because it's time for the 5th Annual Christmas Blog Hop at Word Art Wednesday and I'm SO glad you've chosen to join us.  We have lots of fabulous prizes up for grabs including TWO $25 Gift Cards to Unity Stamps and a prize package at each blog along the way.  The prizes you see on each blog (there are six blog stops in total) are the prizes for which you'll be entered to win by leaving a comment on that blog.  You should have arrived here by way of Natalie's Blog.  You can always get started and caught up by visiting Word Art Wednesday.
For this card, I used kraft cardstock and a piece of polka dot patterned paper from my super old stash.  I printed the scripture onto that patterned paper and cut the layers using a Postage Die.  I added a length of May Arts Brown Stitched Canvas Ribbon to my card.  Next, I added some bundled up Natural Burlap String topped with some wool felt leaves and rusty jingle bells.
You can get all the beautiful word art/scripture files for FREE by visiting us at Word Art Wednesday.  You can also play along in our challenges where we're blessed to have AWESOME Sponsors/Prizes.  Like I mentioned earlier, we have TWO $25 Gift Cards to Unity Stamps being offered as prizes for this challenge.  Here's a photo of the prizes being offered here on my blog.  Just leave me a comment to be entered for this FABULOUS prize of three stamp sets from Stamp Simply.
This is the final stop on the Blog Hop, and I hope you've enjoyed yourself.  If you've left a comment on each blog, you're now entered and eligible to WIN a whole lot of fabulous prizes.  We're so glad you've joined us.  Now, just be sure to enter your cards in the Word Art Wednesday gallery to be entered to win one of the TWO $25 prizes to Unity Stamps.
Happy crafting, everyone.  I'm always delighted to have you stop by to take a peek at my cards and say hello.  I look forward to visiting your blog when you leave a comment and enter our challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  Have a blessed and creative week, my sweet friends.  I appreciate you very much.

I'm sharing my card here:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Use Dies in Die-cember - I used postage dies for the base and leaf dies for the brown and green wool felt leaves.

Blessings,
Karen

  4. Wow! Stunning! Thanks so much for the blog hop. Deanne S. does not have a blog hop post; so I commented on her last post on her blog. Maybe it was set for auto and didn't work. Happy Holidays! Big hugs, Gloria

  11. This is such a beautiful card with all those layers and the ribbon and jingle bells! I downloaded the verse and plan to use it soon for a set of cards to the homebound church members I send to regularly. It's a lovely, artful rendering of that wonderful, encouraging verse!

    Sending Christmas blessings and prayers for a fantastic new year, Karen!
