Sweet Pea Stamps Blog Hop!

 
Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Sweet Pea Stamps blog hop. Each of our wonderful designers have come up with creative ways to use a non-Christmas themed image to create a Christmas themed project! We hope to inspire you to work out of the box for each and every holiday with images you might not consider when crafting.

I chose Karen Middleton's stamp Wings of Hope.  First let me show you a card that I made using this beautiful stamp.  Here's a monotone pink card with this lovely maiden all in pink. Isn't she stunning?
 
 
Now here's a card where I took the same image and turned her into a Christmas card.  I chose to color her in white with some red wings and give her a glowing yellow aura.  I used gorgeous embossed white cardstock with lots of silver die cuts and metallic and embroidered Christmas ornaments.

Please visit each of our talented team members'... blogs and leave a little love - a comment on every hop post will enter you into a drawing for a $20 gift code to the Sweet Pea Stamps store! As an added bit of fun share the hop on Facebook tagging Sweet Pea Stamps for a chance for a $10 gift code to the Sweet Pea Stamps store! Winners will be chosen around the first of next week.

She looks beautiful either way - although I like the Christmas style one best (it is the holidays after all :)

Beautiful cards! Love the yellow burst on the lovely Christmas card! Also, think it's great that you shared both a non Christmas and Christmas card for this image to show the contrast. (Great shades of pink in the first card too.) :)

Fabulous Holly and love the way you have showed the digi in two different ways, really points out the versatility of SPS images and that a Christmas card can be made Christmassy with a non Christmas image - great job :) :) Hugs Jane xxxx

Holley, what a stunning card you have made for the Sweet Pea Stamps Blog Hop. It's nice to be able to use generic images for Christmas cards. It makes them more cost-effective. It’s lovely to take part in the Blog Hop and see such a variety of creations. Wishing you a happy Christmas and all the very best for 2015, Kym xxx
