For my part of this Hoopla I made a card luminary. Base card is Not Quite Navy. I punched the upper side of the card with the 2 1/2 inch circle punch. On the inside of the card I attached a piece of vellum over the opening. Roof was made using strips of scallops from Tasteful Trim Big Shot die. Smaller scallop on the chimney was made using scallop boarder punch. Reindeer made using stocking punch. For the word Santa I typed it up on computer paper. I wanted it to appear that one of Santa's reindeer was getting worried about how long the "old gent" was taking to come back on the roof.
From the side view you can see the battery operated votive candle. Pictures don't do it justice. The card is really very pretty.
On the inside I layered a piece of vanilla cardstock and stamped "Christmas Greetings" from the Grateful Greetings stamp set, its centered to show through the vellum circle when the card is closed.
This is a very simple easel card using the scallop circle Big Shot die. To make the candy wreath I took one of the skinny cello bags and filled with little red and green candies, formed a circle with it and tied a bow on top. I stamped the pine cones from the Pines and Poinsettias stamp set on white cardstock, punched with 2 1/2 circle punch and attached the candy wreath to it using glue dots.

As always, your projects are fantastic Karen. Love your ideas. Like the idea of making a wreath out of the little bags.
I spent a good portion of an hour visiting your blog. I really like your style and you are very talented. Too many beautiful projects to comment on all of them just know I think you Rock!!! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Too much talent not to share! Were you a teacher in your former life?

Nope Lynn not a teacher...but I do love to teacher. I was a trainer for a bit at my old job. Guess that's why I have stamp camps at my home so I can share my love of stamping with others.
