Welcome to the Season's Givings Blog Hop!

I've recently posted my favourite cards (click!) & layouts (click!) that I made in 2014,
which you can see by scrolling down or clicking the links.

Each stop on the hop is hosting a giveaway. 
So make sure you comment on each one to be eligible to win each prize.

Here is the prize pack that I'm giving away...


It consists of five stamp sets (from Studio Calico (2) Fresh Squeezed Stamps, Prima & Basic Grey/Hero Arts) and some Basic Grey goodies.

To be eligible to win this prize pack, you need to leave a comment here
on my blog by Sunday, Jan. 4, 2014, at 11:59pm CST.
I will announce the winner on Monday, the 5th.

And here's the card I wanted to share with you....


I was inspired by a photo I saw in a magazine of Christmas lights in a mason jar
and wanted to recreate this look on a card.

To start, I inked some Bazzill CS White Cardstock with some Harvest Gold ink
and my Tim Holtz blending tool, to create the glow.
Then I diecut the Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm jar from the white cardstock
and adhered it to a second piece of white cardstock that I'd be using to mat my card.
I diecut the lights from PTI Harvest Gold card stock using the die from PTI's Shaker Shapes: Tree
and heat embossed the string in white using PTI's Sparkle & Shine Holiday stamp set. 
I stamped the bulbs in Harvest Gold and adhered the two strings to the jar diecut.
I layered a piece of Bazzill Platinum Vellum over top.
I stamped the flower and boughs using PTI's Tinsel & Tags stamps and dies
and tied a bow using some PTI Rustic Cream Button Twine.
Before adhering the diecut, inked panel over top, I added the diecut Shine (also from PTI, 
which I diecut from some Bazzill Wax Lips Cardstock.
I stamped the "Bright" (from PTI's Sparkle & Shine stamp set), the "in" (from PTI's Monthly Moments:Tabbed stamp set) and the date using the numbers from PTI's Get Lost stamp set.

Here's a close up of the lights in the jar...
