Jingle Belles: The Holly, the Ivy and the Missing Card!

Yeah, I know... I'm posting at the most absolute last minute again. But hey! At least I did it. AND! I did the missing JB08 Sketch card, because well... I'm just not that organized that I lost it and had to do it all over again. So there!

JB13 is something having to do with foliage, and I did 3 cards. 2 of them were... meh. Uh, nah... and so I began again.

I punched the branches out of green, added some stickles and ribbon, a little ink and VOILA! Simple and deckin' the halls, still! I probably could've made the wreath a little fuller, but... uh... the adhesive was already covered. Oh well. (I am not posting the fuss-ups today, because I forgot to take pics of them and am TOTALLY running out of time!)


JB08? Yeah, well... I used the same Martha Stewart branch punch, but in white, flowed it into a half-circle added cutesy bluesy prints, some ribbon, bling and more stickles. Done.


can you tell i l-o-v-e blue?
And now caught up!

You can join in the fun, too, ya know... Check out what others did at Jingle Belles and play with some cards, too! Another challenge will be posted on Friday. (Maybe next week I'll actually get everything done earlier.  Ya never know!!!)

    Wonderful wreath! I've seen this idea before but yours really takes the biscuit! Must try it myself one day but never seem to find, or make the time!

    these are both adorable. I have seen so many cards with the MS punch that I feel the urge to get it hitting me. Your wreath is gorgeous and the addition of the stickles is perfect. as for the blue card? stunning! great use of the foliage. love them

    Blue, blue, I love blue too! They're both wonderfully done. I don't think I ever thought to use that punch on anything other than green. I LOVE the white branches!!!

    I love how different the branch looks just by changing-up the colors ... and the sparkle of stickles really take your wreath up-a-notch as Emeril would say ... love what you did with the sketch as well ... so very fun. Thanks for joining our jingle belles fun.

    Lisa...my sweetie. I adore your wreath! It's just gorgeous! And your missing card #8? Wow...what a beauty. Love how you got such a different look by using the same punch, but different color cardstock (and yes, in a different way).

    Both VERY pretty cards! <3
