Let's keep Christ in "Christ"mas

The Gentle Peace Photopolymer Set reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.  In the picture below, you can see how versatile it is.  The first card colored with Stampin' Up! Blendabilities markers is gorgeous, simulating stained glass. 

Yet the card on the right is simple and elegant. 

 

 

 

When I got my stamp set

I wanted to create something that was

quick and easy to make but had a wow factor. 

Here is what I came up with.

 

The color combination of Smokey Slate, Blackberry Bliss and Silver Glimmer Paper gives this card richness that I believe honors the Holiness of the Christ child.


I used Smokey Slate cardstock as my card base and added a 5¼” x 4” piece of Blackberry Bliss and a strip of Silver Glimmer paper to the card front.   

After stamping the image with Blackberry Bliss ink, I cut it out along the outside of the stained glass window.  The ¾” circle punch was used to cut out the star and a rhinestone was added to it's center.  Using 1” Circle punch, I cut the remainder of circle from the area surrounding where the star was located. 
Using Dimensionals, I attached stamped and trimmed image to card front centering it over the Silver Glimmer paper.

Using a Dimensional, I attached “star circle” to Glimmer Paper centered inside of punched out circle.  This way the glimmer paper is visible around the star.  To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment in Silver ink.  

This stamp set not only has the great image of the Blessed family but also includes greetings that express the Holiness of the season. 

It is a must have for those who want to keep 

Christ in "Christ"mas!

Treasure Hunt Tips

 

1.    Some blogs have forms you can use to keep track of you clues, or you can cut and past the blog list into a word or excel document to record your answers.  Once you have a place to record your answers, start the hunt!

2.    To find clues, when you open a participating blog you should

a.    Check to see if it has a page tab/header for the LNS Treasure Hunt, if so start there.

b.    Scan the side bar for a search tool and try “CLUE” or “HUNT” as the key words.  Many blogs have labels on each post or their search tool can find key words that are used in posts.

c.    Check the site “Archives” (usually found in the side bar), Check posts in August, September, October and November 2014 and look for anything with a title related to the “LNS TREASURE HUNT”

d.    Scan blog postings for the mention of the LNS Treasure Hunt clue or look for TREASURE CHEST PICTURE.

3.    Once you find the clue for a site, cut and paste it into your document next to the blog address.

     4.   Report your results by November 15.
