Popcorn garland

This my second post today, so please scroll down to see my card for Runway Inspired Challenge. Thanks!

Hi there! Have you ever made homemade popcorn garland? I remember making them when I was a kid and I might try make one this year again! I especially love these made with cranberries interspersed. And how about a popcorn garland card?

I created this with a little popcorn stamp from Watchin' T.V. set by Sweet Stamp shop.  The cranberries are made with hole punch and covered with glossy accents.

Here’s the set I used:

St. Nicholas Day

This my second post today, so please scroll down to see my card for Runway Inspired Challenge. Thanks!

Hello again! I’m back to share my card for Sweet Stamp Shop blog.

In many European countries, December 6 is a day to celebrate one of our most beloved saints Nicholas of Myra, the origin of Santa Claus. As a kid, I always looked forward to celebrating St. Nicholas's Day. The night before we set out freshly polished shoes hoping they would be filled with lots of goodies. We still celebrate this tradition by giving small gifts hidden in shoes and in honour of this lovely day, I thought I’d make a card with a little Santa. This cute gnome stamp was just perfect to use here:

Here is the set I used:

Thanks for stopping by and have a Happy St Nicholas Day!
