Welcome, this is our last post for 2012.  All year we have been working on making our Christmas cards and today's post is our last.  We invite you to link up and share with us your festive creations as well.  The hop starts with Terri Sproul, please start from the beginning and if you are joining us you can link up on her page.

Today I got to play with my new Viva Decor products.  I love everything they make and finally got some of their stamps and new paints so I decided to make this card using their products.  I'm really happy with the end results and I hope you all like it as well. I made two different cards, the first I stamp right on the white card stock, the second I did the stamping on velum that was adhered to blue card stock and then all glued onto the white card stock that was inked with the 3D stamp pain in light blue metallic, and stained with silver and light blue paper pens from Viva Decor (not pictured).

My first card

Handmade Holiday Ornament Swap with Charity Wings

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID ...

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension. ...

If you didn't start from the beginning, please go back to Terri's blog,  http://terrisproul.blogspot.com  if not, please go back. You should have hopped here from Chris Hurley's blog at   http://www.stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/  and in case you get lost along the way there is a complete list to the right of everyone taking part of this hop. Now here is my card for today, I decided to go for a simple look. - I got some products in the mail not long ago and decided to use them on this card - the green paper you see is actually a wall paper product it has a marbled look already in gold and I decided to use my Viva Decor gold glitter pen in some areas to really bring out the gold.    The round circle on top was part of the shipment ,  I didn't make it, but it seems white paint  was added to a circle cut from heavy card stock (maybe) and a pretty star was stamped while wet - again I can only assume how it was made - but I liked it and though...
