Welcome to the Stamp TV CSS Alumni July blog hop!!! This month we arefollowing the sketch you see here.
If you came to me from Sharri's blog - www.istamp4u.blogspot.com/2012/07/stamp-tv-css-alumni-hop.html where I am sure she had some great stuff to show you!!!
If you want to follow along the hop then go to the Stamp Tv main page and look for the Hop announcement around 915 pm tonight - www.stamptv.ning.com
Also make sure to leave lots of sweet comments along the way because tuesday am the 17th we are giving away a huge grab bag of Gina K stamps to one lucky commenter :)
All stamps are from Gina K and the sets I used are - 'seasonal sayings' 'vintage borders' and 'light of the season'
I colored the candle image with copics - I stamped the music border with memento toffee and the main image with memento brown and the phrase is also stamped with memento ink but I can't remember which one - its a teal/dark turquoise blue.
All for me today and I am also the end of our hop this time - I hope you had a great time along the way!!!!
Take Care

Great cards! I need to be thinking about Christmas -- you've have spurred my motivation to get started!
Three fabulous cards, each itch a different take using the same image (one of my favs for Christmas cards!) I like them all but have to say the third one really grabbed my attention.
Great cards Tera! I really like all three and good for you for starting your Christmas cards. I'll be lucky if I start mine by Dec 15!
Very vintage feel to your cards <3 rosy
Wow! 3 beautiful cards! I'm impressed you have a jump on Christmas cards! I'm a little behind I guess, lol!! :)
Ahhh, Christmas cards...never too early to be thinking about that and such a great way to kick off the making of them than with these three lovely cards!
Just a sweet Christmas card!
Christmas cards already...good girl getting a head start. Love the cards! Thanks for sharing.
Loved the Christmas cards especially the last one. Thanks for sharing.
love the same focal image with the different bg! Well done~
That is one of my favorite GKD Christmas sets, Tera and I LOVE the three cards you created with the candle. Well done!!!
Definitely time to start Christmas cards and these are very pretty.
What nice Christmas cards! Very creative!
Oh my all 3 are stunning. I am a traditionalist and lean toward the 3rd card but am trying to move out of the box so I am going to tell you that your second card is my favorite.
Love that you posted Christmas cards!!...I need to start working on mine...because I always save them for the last minute!!
Great to see something other than summer. Good job. Really pretty cards.

These are SO pretty. Now I have to figure out Christmas Cards.
Oh, WOW. I love making Christmas cards, and these are fabulous! I think I love the last one the best, but they are all so very beautiful.
Wow I can see how hard it is to choose. All 3 cards are gorgeous, but I think I like the red one the best. Great job. :)
Christmas in July! You smart girl. These are beautiful.
Oh my gosh, I really need to start making Christmas cards! Great cards lady...
I really like all three cards. The last one is my favorite. I like the colors on it. Great job.

These are wonderful Christmas cards! they are unique and non-traditional.
Great interpretations of the sketch! I love the color scheme of the third card - it's my favorite.
beautiful cards and you will be happy when christmas time rolls around that you have some cards finished.
Guess somebody had to open that Christmas Card Window! Yikes - beautiful cards, and good timing....summer is whipping away!
Lovely christmas card design Tera, very vintage feel to them. I think I may be doing a few of this design myself....Pat x
I loved your Christmas cards--particularly the more traditional colors, although I have to note that I too, use non-traditional colors on some of my cards. Anyway, nice treatments. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE the colors!! very rich and elegant cards

All three are beautiful, but love the red background the most. Good for you for thinking about Christmas cards NOW!
Nice cards. You made me think I sould get started on my Christmas cards. Thanks for the boost!
What fabulous ideas for Christmas cards. Never too soon to start getting one's stash up to date and I hope I find time to make mine before the holidays arrive too.
Great cards and if I am going to make any for Christmas I need to start right away. Thanks for sharing.

Nice cards
I like the RED one best! :-)
I'm loving your Christmas in July theme.
Beautiful cards and take on the same image. I haven't participated in a blog hop in months. One reason is that I hate the word verification and usually don't leave a comment. Of course this hop makes it necessary to do so. Please accept my apologize if I've been rude. Hugs, dj1952
Beautiful cards!
All three are nice but of course, I'm voting for the traditional red and green. I really do think it lets the stamp standout more:)
Amazing what different DP will do.
Great.
Your image is great but your DP make the cards. It's beautiful!
Great cards. My favorite is the red one but both are very nice.
Christmas in July. Love it.
Christmas in July! I love how the tilting the reindeer paper in the 3rd card makes all the noses up!
Beautiful cards...and YES, we must get started on our Christmas Cards. These will certainly inspire !
What a great idea to stamp Christmas cards all year long! Each one is beautiful!
Great take on the sketch! Love all your Christmas cards!! They have such a beautiful vintage feel. Gorgeous!!

Very pretty. Today I was thinking about what to make for my Christmas cards. I don't think to stamp on printed paper or "make" my own printed paper. Thanks for the wonderful ideas.
All three are just stunning!
Great cards....love the blue an unusual shade for xmas. Well done
Wow! these are wonderful, i love how well the card layers flow together with a great focal image and not necessarily the traditional colors but looking fantastic anyway! this gives me great ideas for future cards! TFS Laura Smith
Wonderful Christmas card Tera!!!
Beautiful cards ...helps to spur me on ...I want to be ahead this year...thanks for inspiration

Love all three cards! Great inspiration!!
Christmas in July......these are really beautiful!
Lovely Christmas cards!!
As much as I dont want to think about Christmas, these are lovely!
You have some interesting combinations of designs and papers. How do you ever get so much into one card?
Hmmmmm...Should I start making Christmas cards, too? With such wonderful cards, it's hard not to get inspired!
Great idea for Christmas cards. Will keep in mind when I start making mine. Since a robot can't read the words shouldn't be so hard to read. I have tried 3 times to post my comment.
OMG, love the red one, gorgeous
2It's so nice to be able to create beautiful cards that you need for your own purposes as well as answering the format of a challenge. Well done! I have enjoyed the hop...TFS.
Pretty cards! I love your layers!

Christmas cards already! It seems we just left winter a few weeks ago. I enjoyed seeing the ways you used different papers to change the look of the same stamp used. Carry on!
Beautiful cards
Blessings,
Kat

Great Christmas cards. THat's getting a great start! Great colors for them too.
Wow, 3 amazing cards! Love the color combo's. Great demo on how you can get so many different looks from one idea just by changing color schemes.
Since you are the last in line I just wanted to say that I think it is great the way you all support and encourage each other on these blog hops by saying things like "talented" or "creative" when we are passed to the next one.
What great holiday cards!
