Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...

Okay I'll admit I don't normally get into the Christmas spirit until at least November first, but after being so jazzed about Halloween for two months I'm now kinda burned out on the subject.  So, I've decided to jump head-first into Christmas cards!  I just finished one of my most favorite that I've ever made.

I'm so happy with this card.  It was inspired by the latest challenge at Fussy and Fancy Challenges but I'm entering it in a few different challenges.

• Fussy and Fancy Challenges - 3 Bs - Black, Border Punch and Bling
• Alota Rubber Stamps Challenge #69 - Christmas 
• Simon Says Stamp And Show One Colour

I gotta get back to my TV, Revenge is on.  If you guys aren't watching this show, you should be!  It's fabulous!

Today's inspiration came from, of all places, a Kleenix box (technically it's an Up and Up tissue box but whatevs).  The color and the design instantly reminded me of a card.

This and several other cards can be found in my shop.  Thanks so much for looking!

Hello out there, from Crafty Land

Welcome to my blog.  I'm Lisa, and I'm the designer and blogger for The Royal Pumpkin.  Along with my mom Cathy, we make greeting cards, tags, gift boxes, jewelry and other glittery, girly things.  We do custom work, just shoot us an email and we'll be happy to work with you!!

To give you an example of what we can do, lemme tell you about a recent custom order that I filled.  A very good friend of mine wanted some cards for her mother and her aunt.  One of her design specifications was to put apples and sunflowers together.  This is what I came up with:

She loved it, and I loved doing it!!

So that's what I'll be showcasing here.  Art and ideas and inspiration.  Thanks for reading and comments = love! :)
