MM191 Chalkboard

Hi everyone! I have been lax in keeping up with my Christmas card making, so I took on the Merry Monday chalkboard challenge:

I stamped this Papertrey sentiment from O Holy Night on some SU chalkboard paper...adding a few stars from Holly Jolly Greetings, then punching it out with the tag punch:

I assembled my card using some papers from DCWV's Crafty Christmas stack, adding an embossed Cherry Cobbler strip and some Lil'Inker diecut holly leaves and berries.  I smudged the edges of my tag, but I obviously should have hit the sentiment with the heat tool....it smudged all by itself, without my help!  It kind of looks like a real chalkboard that way, I guess, LOL!  Another one for the pile!

We spent yesterday morning decorating a few mini coffee cups for Valentine's gifts!  First, sticking the DSP on the outside:

Then, adding some punched hearts:

Mommy's got a special tag....tying the twine takes a lot of concentration:

It was her idea to adhere the hearts this way....so cute and clever!  She also tucked the tag inside the candy-filled cup so that when mommy opened it up, she would see the twine and pull out the tag...another of her own ideas!

All three of her creations!

Enjoy your day and be sure to pop back in tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge!
