It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is fast approaching, and once again; it's time for the Word Art Wednesday Annual Christmas Blog Hop. You should have arrived here by way of our fabulous Guest Designer's Blog, Kathy Schweinfurth. Wasn't her card amazing? Be sure to enter the challenge for your chance to WIN one of the THREE (3) fabulous sponsor prizes. There are TWO (2) $25 Unity Stamps gift vouchers and one digital stamp set of choice from Bonnie Garby Designs up for grabs. Then also remember to visit each blog in the hop and leave a comment on each one. By doing this, you'll be entered to win the fabulous prizes shown on each blog.
The card I'm sharing started with you here today isn't the card I have posted on the Word Art Wednesday Blog. I used a card on the WAW Blog that went along with the theme of the word art (lantern light), but it's a card that I've posted previously for Creative Worship Stamps. So, for that reason, I also created a card just for this blog post. I used a sentiment from the Christmas Song Lyrics Stamp Bundle from Bonnie Garby Designs.
I used a cream cardstock base layered with the vintage sheet music for Silent Night Holy Night, and I cut it using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship. I used the Vintage Christmas Images Stamp Set from Stamp Simply for those pretty bells. I cut them with the coordinating Vintage Christmas Images Dies. I also added some Iridescent White String to my card for added shimmer and texture.
There are SO many great prizes to be won on our Annual Christmas Blog Hop. By leaving a comment here on my blog, you'll be entered to WIN a Starbucks Gift Card and a 12-color Altenew Watercolor Set. All the winners will be announced on the Word Art Wednesday January 7 Blog Post. Physical prizes require a U.S. shipping address; otherwise, an alternate prize will be arranged. Thanks for understanding.
There are also prizes for entering the challenge, so don't miss out on your opportunity to WIN some of these prizes. Be sure to stop by the blog of each Design Team Member to leave a comment. Your next stop on this Blog Hop is at Barb Finnical's Blog, and I know she has a beautiful inspiration card and some AWESOME prizes for you.
Best of luck to everyone in the random draw for these fabulous prizes. We look forward to seeing what you'll share in the Word Art Wednesday Challenge, too. Have a great week, everyone. We're always so grateful for your visits and fellowship.
Blessings,
Karen
