Good Sunday, Friends!
Well, I think this is it. I counted my Christmas cards this morning and I have enough to cover my list with a couple left to spare. I am a little melancholy about it, as I do so love to make Christmas cards.
Since I was making a Christmas card anyway, I used today’s Featured Stamper challenge as a jump off point. Today’s featured stamper is pam124. Honestly, I was only vaguely familiar with Pam’s work, but a trip through her gallery was a nice way to start my day. She has a nice easy style.
I chose to case THIS card. I used my new JustRite stampers that I purchased from Sharon Johnson’s Stamp Simply store.
I have always been intrigued by the JustRite stamps. I ordered a small set of them a few months back and they were fun, but it does take a little getting use to. I had PM’d Sharon a couple weeks back and she answered my questions gracefully.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: JustRite Old Fashioned Christmas
Colors: Riding Hood Red, Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla, Kaiserkraft Dear Santa dps
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Versafine Black Onyx, copics
Accessories: ribbon (also from Sharon’s store!), 1/2 pearls, circle punch, circle maker, homemade piercing template, paper piercer, photo corner punch, gold ornament glaze.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a blessed day 🙂

Beautiful card, Holly! I love the Just Rite layered circle and gorgeous DP you chose! The colors are wonderful with the elegant eggplant! The accent piercing is wonderful, too!

Looks like Sharon gave you a good tute on these stamps 😀 Lovely job on the focal image. Love the sponging and the pearls on the stocking. Lovely DP and corners too. Well done.
