On the Twelfth Day of Christmas....

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas

My True Love Sent to Me:
Twelve Drummers Drumming
Eleven Pipers Piping
Ten Lords a Leaping
Nine Ladies Dancing
Eight Maids a Milking
Seven Swans a Swimming
Six Geese a Laying
Five Golden Rings
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

Welcome to the end of the Whimsy Stamps "12 Days of Christmas" blog hop! Are you in a festive mood and singing along with our hop song yet? We hope you enjoyed the hop and got lots of inspiration from our Whimsy designers! Today's hop is for our new "holiday collection" release by artist Crissy Armstrong! We are very excited for you to finally be able to see and purchase these sweet stamps!

If you are just joining me you'll want to hop back to the beginning of the hop at Bev's Blog to see all the wonderful holiday creations made by the Whimsy Stamps Design Team and Crissy Armstrong herself!

For my project I created an easel card! These cards are all over blogland right now and so I just had to try making one. I love it too! Very easy to create and makes for a real eye catching card! I'd like to thank whoever came up with this fab idea, it's a keeper!

I have used the stamp Very Present Helpers on my card today. These little cuties remind me of our own cats getting into some holiday trouble! I've colored with Copics and then added some Twinkling H2Os for some shimmer on the ribbon. The gift box was paper pieced with some Eskimo Kisses paper from BasicGrey.

I've used more Eskimo Kisses paper with some Razzleberry, Pink, and Sky colored card stock. The sketch is from this week's Sketch and Stash challenge. My unused stash would be the sticky pearl accents. I've embellished my card with polka dot ribbon, felt snowflakes, pearls, buttons, and snowflake charm.

Here is a side view of the easel card...

I created my sentiment with the Stampin' Up set Short and Sweet along with some punches. I used the scalloped oval, large oval, and modern label punches from SU!. I adorned the sentiment area of the card with more ribbon, pearls, a felt snowflake and a button. This card also fits the challenges at Crazy 4 Challenges and Secret Crafter Saturday who both had easel card challenges.

Now, this is the end of the hop, but the last stop on today's hop is the Whimsy Stamps homepage where you can enter for a chance to win some mystery blog candy which does include all 4 of the new Crissy Armstrong Collection stamps!
