Hello Stamplings!
I hope this finds you well and, if not, I'm sending you squishy cyber hugs with the hope you'll soon feel better. It's always so difficult to be far away from someone we love who could use a real-life in-person hug. Thank goodness we all have vivivacious imaginations so you can feel well and properly squished over the interwebs!
And how are you doing with those holiday cards? It's that time of year, even if it does seem like we just put those holiday decorations away! Today is the 10th of the month, so I'm here with some inspiration for you for the November Twofer Card Challenge. To help you with those ideas for Christmas cards, our prompt this month is:
HOLID🎄Y GREENERY!
The Holiday Greenery my two designs have in common is the NBUS Bold Borders Yuletide die from Papertrey Ink.
Wait. What? My cards are for the same occasion and that's a TCC no-no!
Wait. What? My cards are for the same occasion and that's a TCC no-no!
No worries! There's a fun and welcome twist to TCC this time, so my cards for the same occasion are okay!! Because we are all busy making holiday cards right now, I decided to waive the rule of "two different occasions."
Of course, you're welcome to make your two different designs for two different occasions, but if you want to make two different designs for the same occasion, such as Christmas, go for it!! Just remember you still have to use the same stamp, die, or stencil to showcase the Holid🎄y Greenery prompt on both your different designs!

My second horizontal design uses just one side of the Holly Frame and is pretty self-exploratory. The sediment from MFT was heat-embossed in rose gold e/p.
My perfect color-match enamel bling was Hammy's idea. I used one of those old-timey paper punches to punch a circle from the same paper I used to mat and cut the frame. Then I glued the circles down and glued clear enamel dots over the top.
And to show my appreciation for Hammy's idea, I made three more dots to bling his water bowl. As if he needs any more bling in his cage!

This is our last challenge of 2019 and I look forward to seeing your festive holiday designs in the gallery this month! It's hard not to use some kind of greenery on our holiday cards this time of year! And as you can see from my cards, your Holiday Greenery does NOT need to be green!!
Pop over to the Twofer Card Challenge where you'll find the Team has made beautiful inspiration cards for you! We are also fortunate to have the lovely Nanc' Leppek as our talented Guest Designer this month!
