For this hop, I decided to make a "Theater Card" that I found on Pinterst some time ago and haven't had a chance to make it.  When I saw the "Deck the Palms" paper pack I knew it would be perfect!  The complete instructions including links to the measurements and a tutorial video can be found on Sara Levin's blog.   card measurements

Originally I imagined a Christmas tree in the background with presents upfront, then life happened and I needed to use the quick version of Deck the Palms = stickers! to complete a card for this blog. Later as life calmed down, I was able to complete my original tree/gifts Christmas card.

I've been planning to use the "Good Tidings of Great Joy" stamp this year for my Christmas cards. It was in the September-October catalogue; I'm so glad it's still available online B1769!! Get it while it's available. The papers used were from the annual catalogue and listed below I used paper and stickers from the Love Story paper pack and Harbour glitter paper. I just love that color, not has harsh as the black and picks up the blue in Candid Moments paper that I used for stamping the sentiment . I used the ombre paper with Sundance on one end and Carolina on the other. Then after stamping and embossing the sentiment in gold, I added a light touch of ink with the Mini Ink Blending Tool over the sentiment and also the flower stickers.

Materials used:
