Thanks everyone for participating in the
"What's your favorite Christmas song" giveaway. I have a few Christmas songs that are favorites. Silver Bells never fails to remind me of my mother since it was her favorite. But if she was still alive, I am sure she would enjoy any Christmas song sung by Michael Bublé because I sure do. But my go to Christmas favorite, which I know I have mentioned here before is,
"Breath of Heaven" (
Mary's song) by Amy Grant. Just such a wonderful message.
The winner of today's prized package is:

I have one more prize package to giveaway - you will find today's question at the end of this post. The winner will be drawn on Sunday Morning so check back to see if it's you!
Today tutorial is a super easy card using the Christmas Blueprint 2 stamp set.
Start by stamping the image of choice onto Ranger watercolor paper with waterproof Black Archival ink. Color the leaves with two colors of marker Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss, then blend with a detail water brush.
Color the bow with Festive Berries and Walnut Stain, then blend with the water brush.
Use Pumice Stone/water brush for the drop shadow and arrow details.
Ink the edges of the water color paper with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink for a subtle aged color. Use a Tonic Edge Distresser tool to rough up the edges. The Ranger water color paper is very thick so it makes for a great torn or distress edge.
Add as many layers as you wish to make the card front. I stitched the water color paper to the red Merriment paper, then glued it to the green cardstock. That way the stitching is hidden between the layers of paper.
Make a small slice with a X-acto knife in the fold of the green cardstock, so the green ribbon can wrap around the card front. I used a combination of Forest Moss and Peeled Paint Distress Stain to color the Crinkle Ribbon.
Add a little bit of bling to the wreath to give it some extra shine.
And there you go.
Super easy card that you still have time to make!

I love your card Paula. The added bling is so cute, great idea. I love this stamp and am tempted to go whip one up. My favourite holiday food...stuffing balls I make every year. Have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card - thanks for the tutorial! My brother comes in from the west coast for a few weeks every Christmas and brings with him a huge shipment of pacific seafood, so I'd have to say my favorite holiday food has become crabs, salmon, and halibut. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday food is a loaf of Date Nut bread - made from a recipe at least 3 or 4 generations old - and handed down. My son just got married so now I need to give the recipe to him and carry on the tradition.....
ReplyDeleteLove the card! Right now I need those quick and easy - yet beautiful - ideas! Favorite food is a tough one to narrow down. I love all of the special cookies we make only at Christmas. But I'd have to say that our Christmas day lasagna is my favorite, mostly because the kids have taken part in preparing it in some way ever since they were tiny. Now they practically make it all by themselves! I've got pictures of the process from every year, and it makes for great memories.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! I need to get some of those markers!! My favorite Christmas food id the ham :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I've been looking for some quick and easy last minute card ideas, and this one is perfect. My favorite holiday food is a cornbread stuffing casserole that I make every year. I also love cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful! Love how you showed the coloring step by step! My fave holiday food would have to be sucre a la creme!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the how-tos of your festive card! My favorite thing this time of year I guess what you'd call fresh cranberry relish. Take a bag of cranberries and mince them up in the food processor, then add about a half cup or so of chopped pecans, and at least 2 big oranges cut up in pieces. (I cut off all the peeling stuff and put the orange segments in the cranberry-pecan mixture--a little time consuming but worth it!) Then add abt half cup of sugar (or more if too tart). Refrigerate this awhile--yum!
ReplyDeletePaula my favorite accessory and I think one of your signiatures for most all your work are the rayon ribbon bows and the touch of sewing you add to your pieces. They are my favs.
ReplyDeleteI do have a favorite holiday "food" and I'm not going to make it because I'll gain more weight if I do...it's a chocolate peanut drop candy that is sweet and salty and SOOOO addicting and way too easy to make..mix one package chocolate chips, one package butterscotch chips, melt over double boiler, add a can of spanish peanuts and drop onto wax paper!
Gorgeous card! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Anything with dried fruit in it...stollen, panettone, mincemeat bars, and FRUITCAKE!!!! Yep, I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you shaded that ribbon/bow! thanks for showing the steps. I really appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteone of our fave holiday foods is a yummy recipe I have for frosted eggnog cookies. oh my gosh, they are pure delight!
Love the bling added to your card Paula. A girls gotta have bling! One of my favorite foods is the rum rolls. I always say I'm going to roll away from the table from eating too many. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove the bling added to your card Paula. A girls gotta have bling! One of my favorite foods is the rum rolls. I always say I'm going to roll away from the table from eating too many. Happy Holidays!

ReplyDeleteThanks Paula for another wonderful card love love love ,your blog!

My fav Holiday food is " tortellini" e Pandoro" !!!! Here In Italy the food is absolutely important in our life!!!! Barbarayaya
ReplyDeleteFruitcake !! I love the moist spiciness of it .

ReplyDeleteSuper card my favourite Christmas food are mince pies which I usually bake but my daughter in law is doing it for me this year, bless her.
ReplyDeleteDressing (or stuffing if you live up north)!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with those tiny cream puffs. Even though they're available year 'round, we seem to only serve them at our Christmas family gathering. Yummmm.... Donna Jean
ReplyDeleteGingerbread!!! Then candy of the homemade sort.
ReplyDeleteLove the card! A favorite holiday treat is homemade fudge with lots of walnuts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card. My favorite food isnt really what you'd call a nutritious food... but thumprint cookies with a dollop of frosting in the center (not jelly - I mean seriousl more sugar is better)
ReplyDeleteAlways inspiring! Favorite Holiday food is my mom's cucumber salad. cucumbers, sour cream, some grated onion and dill. so refreshing! Wouldn't be new years eve without it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Christmas for me until we have hot apple cider from my mom's avacado green crock pot with the broken glass lid that fits the ladle just perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Pizzelle cookies are my favorite holiday food, it is an old Italian family recipe that I only make at Christmas. One of my favorite things about the holidays is making them with my daughters and soon my grandson will be old enough to join us.
ReplyDeleteLove your card. The shading really makes the image pop! I love my father-in-laws cinnamon rolls. I love waking up Christmas morning and smelling them. We all sit together around the table and read the Christmas story while we eat homemade cinnamon rolls. So, because of what goes along with them, cinnamon rolls are my favorite holiday food!
ReplyDeletewhat i beautiful card. You always inspire me! my favourite christmas food is Turkey ... love turkey!!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs always Paula I am so inspired by your work, simple or intricate, your projects are always the ones I want to copy. My favorite food at Christmas is, of course, all of them, not really. Actually my husband's contribution to the holiday goodies is his Chex party mix to which he adds popcorn, cheese crackers, honey nut cheerios and the rest of the good stuff. He usually makes four or five triple batches and we eat it every night. My youngest son is on a mission for my church in South Africa and the one thing he wanted me to send was Dad's chex mix, the most expensive chex mix to date, $111.00 for shipping, but so worth it if he gets it. Sorry to be so long winded.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the wreath. My favorite holiday food is cut out cookies! What is Christmas without these cookies? I think they are Santa's favorite too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tutorial... Always appreciate the details. My favorite Christmas food is smoked turkey. Then turkey and rice soup made with the leftovers thrill me just as much. Must say that anything shared with those I love is a blessing... Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove the card-especially the stitched edge detail around the wreath. Your instructions make everything so easy to do! My favorite holiday food would have to be Sees Candies Cinnamon lollypops. I hold out for "Santa" to place my order and have them arrive in time for a place under the tree. Thanks for the chance to win! Tracy P.
ReplyDeleteFavorite holiday food HAS to be cut out cookies! I make them every year and give them to "some" special family members. I turn on the Christmas tune role, bake, decorate and sing away!!!
ReplyDelete

ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking card! Thx for the op to be in the drawing...My favorite Holiday food...Pfeffernüsse cookies!

The TREAT=Staying up way past bedtime to feast with relatives LATE on Christmas Eve; seeing the frost form on the windows and being cozy inside.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the wreath and your special touch of the dimensions...keeping it Real...brilliant!
I love the card. I don't have a blueprint stamp in my collection yet, but I think I might look for the wreath stamp! My grandmother used to make Lefsa, a Norwegian treat that is generally considered a Christmas dessert. It's basically a crepe made from potatoes, then you butter one side, sprinkle sugar, and fold it several times. It's heavenly stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! Favorite Holiday food: Snickerdoodles hands down. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLoved the card! Want the stamp. My favorite holiday foods- the appetizers. Cheeses, pepperoni, clam dip, chips, pigs n blanket, & dumplings.

ReplyDeleteThe favorite at my house is oxtail soup. It's a recipe passed down through the generations, and Christmas eve wouldn't be complete without it. I loved Rachel's comment about her mother's avacado crockpot. I also have one the we make spiced cider in - another Christmas tradition.
ReplyDeleteTim Holtz fat quarters...my heart skipped a beat...! I love your card - thank you for the tutorial. It's hard to choose a favorite holiday food - I love so many! Some of my favorites are all those cream-cheesy dips with crackers, turkey and stuffing, homemade rolls, cookies of any kind.

ReplyDeleteAnother of your beautiful cards - and so easy!!! My favorite Christmas treat is homemade eggnog, which I haven't had for many years now. We used to have it every year when my dad was alive. Maybe I'll make it again this year............
ReplyDeleteLove the card, and yes, this is simple...sometimes simple is the most beautiful! My favorite holiday food is cranberry/orange/apple relish that I make. I could eat bowls full of it. Also, peanut butter fudge...but not together with the relish.
ReplyDeletevary cool! my favorite food is hot chocolate :-)

ReplyDeleteOh the holiday foods I love. It used to be the family tradition of baked ham and potatoes au gratin, but now we always have a huge prime rib. But the food that's the standby is "Grandmother's Beans" a pickled navy bean salad....wonderful. My Mother used to give people the recipe, but leave out a ingredient. Very funny... only the worthy, in her eyes, would get the right recipe. Happy Holidays everyone.

I love making cranberry, orange nut bread. It smells wonderful and tastes even better. It's a family recipe passed down for generations. Love your card. Wreaths are one of my favorite things. Thanks Paula for sharing. Linda from Alaska
ReplyDeleteI love the card. I have all the "ingredients" to make it and yet, yours looks so great! My favorite food would be stuffing. No one in my family will eat it because they are not eating gluten so I need to have company to justify making it. Did I say that I love it?
ReplyDeleteLove this card! My sweet tooth gets indulged a bit this time of year! My mom makes the best toffee at Christmas time. So yummy.
ReplyDeleteHam....definitely wait for it all year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the steps to make your amazing card....love the "Blueprint" stamps!

Now I'm drooling!
ReplyDeleteThis wreath card is simply sweet!!! My favorite Holiday Food is this wonderful Breakfast Casserole that I make on Christmas morning that has hashbrowns cooked in the oven and then topped with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, diced ham, and then you can add various toppings such as jalapeno, green onions etc...I've made it for my Hubbie for 18 years and now, he along with my 2 sons, look forward to a hearty brunch on Christmas. Which reminds me, I need to go to the store! Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a single favorite Christmas food, but I do enjoy the English Toffee and Gingerbread and such, since we only make it for the holiday. :)
ReplyDeleteCool colourful & cheerful card!
ReplyDeleteRich, fruity Christmas cake is my favourite!
Beautiful card, Paula! It wouldn't be Christmas without my Nana Sara's Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Makes me drool just thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I couldn't be home on the holiday itself, but could come home a few days after, my mom made Chicken & dumplins' and Blueberry Salad. These are my favorites
ReplyDeletemy dear son, many, years ago, was asked, "what do you want for Christmas?" his reply was, "I want Santa to bring raisin bread, for our Christmas breakfast."..i never see raisin bread that i don't think of his 4 year old sweet innocent face.. 47 years later, we still have raisin bread, and remember having our dear children with us.. love this technique, the drop shadow is perfect..thanks for sharing your art!
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous card! My favorite is cut out cookies. I only seem to make them at Christmas, and it's all my kids want.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is old-fashioned sugar cookies, covered with sprinkles, frosted, dipped and dunked. (The kid and the raisin bread is a dead-ringer winner.) Merry Christmas Paula, God bless.
ReplyDeleteAlways love adding ribbon to my cards and being able to personalize the color is the best part. Every year on Christmas Eve my sister makes the best Baklava, so yummy.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say Shortbread :D Turkey and stuffing is lovely but I think of that as anyday of the year food...Christmas is when I make shortbread (and since I love it and it's not difficult to make....don't know WHY? I don't make it year round! LOL

ReplyDeleteFudge, fudge and more fudge.
ReplyDeleteLike this blueprints wreath card, Paula! I just got out my holiday blueprint minis to make some tags today. I picked up a couple tips from your tutorial that I will apply. Thank you. My favorite holiday time food has changed through the years. I guess if I had to pick just one right now, it would be my Mother's version of my G'ma's Houska. It is a buttery, lightly sweetened yeast bread made with butter, ground cashews, a pinch of cardamon and raisins. It bakes crusty on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. It is quite delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Holiday food is lefse and rice pudding. Yum :) Also thank you for this awesome tutorial. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, congratulations to the winner!! I love pumpkin pie and my Grandma's divinity. Thanks for all your generous giveaways. Blessings and smiles, Emilou :-)
ReplyDeleteHome made fruit mince pies are my best...I now make the ones my granny used to make, keeping family traditions alive.
ReplyDeleteOh, Paula, I have a long list of favorite holiday foods, beginning with my sister's Peanut Butter Balls, then Hermits, then my grandmother's Sugar Cookies, then ... oh, they're all cookies or candy! I love the Tim Holtz fabrics - thanks for providing them as a prize. And Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh Paula I would ask you what is your favorite Holiday food? My favorite is Buck-eyes.
ReplyDeleteFor those who aren't sure what these are, they are like a peanut butter ball. I love all you tags and cards. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Happy Holidays
Hi Paula
ReplyDeleteMy favorite at Christmas is a rich dark fruitcake - British style.
Hugs
FredaB
beautiful card and my favorite food is my grandma's sweet potatoes with marshmellows and all the other secret ingrediants she put in it ( I am sure alot of sugar is one of them, but who cares, it's Christmas, right?)
ReplyDeleteCindy Leaf
Your card is Wonderful! My favorite food is my hubby's homemade pizza ~ it's our new tradition for 12/24...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas foods are frosted sugar cookies - love them!!
ReplyDeleteWe always have cinnamon rolls in the shape of a christmas tree on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteWe always have cinnamon rolls in the shape of a christmas tree on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas "food" is spritz cookies. I loved making them when I was a kid, using my mom's old cookie press. My mom is gone now, but I still have her cookie press and re-live happy memories of her each time I use it. Those cookies taste so good with hot chocolate or a cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are always so inspirational. Thank you for sharing all your ideas and talents.
My favorite Christmas food is the homemade stuffing that my late father in law used to make! He shared his recipe with me last year, but mine simply won't compare.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas treat is Date Nut Bread. My grandmas recipe. I only make it this time of year. Soo good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas food is Tamales. A lot of work in making them but worth it. Love the card. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just love all the holiday foods we have from the honey baked ham to new years fondue! I guess if I have to pick a favorite it would be the corn pudding I make from fresh corn and my mom's stuffing!
ReplyDeleteThe holiday dish I look forward to is pasteles, a traditional Spanish meal. OMG! I buy about three dozen twice a year from a Puerto Rican friend who makes some of the best I have ever tasted. It is a wrapped dish that is boiled in special paper tied with twine. When placed a a dish ready to eat, it's like unwrapping a fine Christmas present that you know took a great deal of time to prepare and made with love.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paula for sharing a great holiday card . Have a very wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!
I know this sounds crazy,but I always serve mashed rutabagas with butter for Christmas dinner.It was a childhood favorite of mine,and our sons love it,too.My husband,not so much.He gets extra green bean casserole. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this, especially the red thread.
ReplyDeletebeautiful card, thank you. my fav holiday food is the turkey and cornbread dressing.
