To kick things off, here’s MY creation, I’m sharing an inverted trellis all dressed up like a Christmas tree from the Garden of Gratitude clear polymer stamp set (also available as an instant digital download here.)
Garden of Gratitude is available as both a clear polymer stamp set, and then individually as two digital downloads, which you can grab right now and get to making a card today. (That’s the beauty of digis.)
My project will be a tie-on tag to go with a gift of 'Prinses Irene' tulip bulbs I’m preparing to give to a girlfriend, in memory of her mother, Irene (I’m planting the tulips for her, too!). The trellis image was stamped using Putty-toned neutral ink onto Neenah Opaque cardstock, then illuminated with Prismacolor colored pencils.
How’s this for a non-traditional Christmas palette?
Speaking of non-traditional, many of you already know that I am not really a cardmaker. I love to make things, draw, and color, but I don’t have most of the tools or supplies that you all use. Instead, I love to mix and match emphemera, ribbons, buttons, and things I’ve collected for 30 years, and work those into my creations.
Above, you can see I started with a piece of cardstock onto which I painted washy stripes of watercolor. That’s my base. Then I started dragging things out of my archives: a vintage garden ornament catalog with weathered pages, glittery paper flowers, a pearl-headed pin, paint chips from a project that didn’t happen, garden twine (I literally ran outside in my pajamas to procure it from the shed). I also found an old ink pad in Gold with mere molecules of pigment left in it, and I stamped the HOPE, LOVE, FAITH & JOY stamp from Garden of Gratitude.
I also clipped out a catalog photo of the 'Prinses Irene' tulips so that my friend can see what she’s ultimately getting, beyond than a paper bag of bulbs.
I layered and attached all of my components with double stick tape — I can’t even find my glue. Added a Merry Christmas stamp from this set, wrapped the top in green twine, and popped a glitter flower on the top of my trellis. I found vintage bias tape in colors that matched my ornaments, trimmed with pinking shears, and attached those, too. So much going on... but the thrill I felt while making it, and ultimately the reaction from my friend, will be worth the giant mess I just made. :)
This is the final tag with the gift bag of bulbs. We’re getting a few days above 40° and I hope to get out and plant these for her in the next week!
Can’t wait to see what cards everybody CASEs from the Bloomies’ blogs! Have fun the next 12 days, there are going to be some amazing pieces of art to revel in... so let’s get right into the Christmas spirit.

What a wonderful opportunity to get inspired!
WOW what a fab idea and just what we need to help us all get into the Christmas spirit. Good luck everyone x
Beautiful tag, she’s going to love it as much as the tulips and I’m sure the ornament is just as beautiful! Such an amazing 12 days of Christmas giveaway and I don’t color that fast, so I hope I’ll be done in 12 days. Lol
Good luck to everyone!
How fun! Thanks for this!
What fun! Beautiful coloring!
There are some fantastic cards out there! I am drawn to several on Stacy Morgan's site: http://twinshappy.blogspot.com/ Her Joy to the World that incorporated the matching enamel dots with shades of colors that are slightly muted appealed to me as did the way she shaded her Christmas tree lights and words to luminesce.
I just bought this digital yesterday. This is a wonderful way to use it. Thanks
What a wonderful event!
I checked out some of the designer links and love the Santa card that Saskia van den Berk created. I love the red and white background and the frames around the greeting and Santa really make them pop!
You can check him out here:
http://into-my-creative-world.blogspot.com/2020/12/santas-jolly-smile-by-meljens-designs.html
I keep thinking of your Amaryllis stamp that I have. It is so versatile. I just love it! Now I want to go make more cards.
What a great idea for a gardener! I planted my first garden this year, so I really love this idea!
The Joy to the World card really pops, and I love the stitching. I must try that on some cards.
Love Jennifer Dove's Sowy Waterfall Mill. It looks so peaceful and calm.
Oh, my! I love all of Catherine Anderson's work! Wow! Beautiful!
This is the best ever I love everything you do. Thank you
Sounds like so much fun. I love to see what others are making.

I love your beautiful artwork Marcella - Power Poppy are my favourite stamps. Great idea for a Christmas tag... now I'm off to check out the Bloomies, Robyn
Love that trellis tree. On to shopping.
Marcella - what a wonderful Trellis Tree. I love non-traditional Christmas images because here in Oz we don't have snow at all so finding images like this is a bonus for my cardmaking. Thanks for giving us such wonderful opportunities to have a chance at winning.
From Tracy B
How fun! Maybe this will get me motivated!
What an adorable Christmas tag! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love the watercolor card that Broni Holcombe did with the Joy to the World Bouquet. It's so beautiful!

What a gorgeous tag and a wonderful gift, tulips. So sweet!
I'm excited about the opportunity to see amazing works of art, and the diversity is awesome! Thanks so much for hosting this event, and for the gorgeous stamps! My favorites!
I love Ally's design with Cuddle in the Cabin. The plaid panel peeking out behind the image is perfect! http://yourmemoriescanada.blogspot.com/2020/11/quiet-christmas-cuddle-in-cabin.html
So many I like. I think the one I was drawn to the most is this one https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zjuBpqSAvw0/X8e5M1-aEsI/AAAAAAAAQ2k/VoBhwmgS7LYOjga3m4h2TWFhuqDN09iiACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_8724.jpg found at Barbara Campbells blog http://inmycreativeroom.blogspot.com/2020/12/quiet-christmas-release-review.html. I love the serene calming look of the image. Just feels so peaceful.
What a wonderful giveaway Marcella, thank you! Love your bulb and beautiful tag gift for your friend. What a great idea. I went to our local nursery yesterday and purchased a gorgeous Amaryllis. Your Amaryllis stamp set is the best one I've seen and one of my favorites to use for Xmas cards.
I love Julie's design-so simple and wonderful holiday colors-https://outtoimpress.blogspot.com/ and also Gloria's card, so peaceful and it kind of sums up 2020. https://gloriascraps.blogspot.com/
What a great challenge!!! Love your tag (BTW)!!!
Your trellis Christmas tree is very pretty!
Thanks to all the Bloomies for all the inspiration!
What a wonderful gift! Not only is the tag beautiful and the tulips will be something to look forward to, but the planting is a BIG gift!
http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2020/12/12-days-of-christmas-challenge-day-2.html
Catherine Anderson's card is gorgeous! The variations of pink in this card are stunning! I had purchased this digital stamp set before even seeing her jaw dropping creation! Wow!
This is going to be a fun 12 days!
What a lovely way to present such a great gift. I save little odds and ends of ribbon, pretty wrappings, etc and drag them out when I need just the right thing. Looking forward to the 12 days!
So much fun! Love the trellis tree!
Y first CASE is from Catherine Anderson at Carde Diem. I just love her use of color on the Joy to the World Bouquet, as well as the way she fussy cut the top part & the teal background on the red card base. The whole thing is just incredible! Here’s the link: https://www.cardediemstudio.com/home/power-poppy-joy-to-the-world-bouquet
Your coloring on this beautiful image is gorgeous!! The pencils give such a nice, soft feel to it. And the entire tag is awesome!! Love how you added bits and pieces and came up with something really fabulous!
I would totally CASE Lisa's card found here: http://www.snowymoosecreations.com/2020/11/power-poppy-part-2-day-3.html
I'm working on getting better at CAS creations and this one is really fabulous! I love the bit of pattern behind her beautifully colored Santa. And I think the sequins add just the right amount of embellishing.
Gorgeous trellis and such beautiful colors! I adore how you incorporated all the bits and bobs gathered with such love! I hope to catch up on commenting soon!
I love digital stamps and enjoy any help on how to use them. Will keep looking.
I adore Jenny Colacicco's Joy to the World Bouquet card. I love the pomegranate and berries in the design and Jenny did a fabulous job with the coloring of these. But what really stood out is that she fussy cut the front and only colored a small portion on the back and left the rest of the back just black/white. It is gorgeous, I can't wait to CASE one like it!
Love the way you have created a card using what you have. Looking forward to 12 days of inspiration. And of course it's fun to see some orange tulips that were named after our princess Irene of the Netherlands.

Im loving all your stamps...All digi i got at mo..Love colouring them, so easy..Just found your blog, now following..xx
I haven't visited all of the Bloom Brigade blogs yet, but I was intrigued by Barbara's cottage on coloured cardstock in this post: https://inmycreativeroom.blogspot.com/2020/12/quiet-christmas-release-review.html. I often overlook the fact that I can stamp or print on coloured cardstock.
Marianne x
This looks like fun.
Your card with all the ephemera is magical, Marcella!! I love all of your stamps, and am an avid fan!! Also receive so much inspiration from the design team every day! I recently ordered the Forest Fellas stamp set, and enjoyed making a card using Lisa’s inspiration found on this post,
http://www.snowymoosecreations.com/2020/11/power-poppy-part-2-day-2.html. I really liked how the moose was colored and how she had the moose kind of framed out.
Merci pour ce beau calendrier de l'avent.
J'aime beaucoup cette carte si originale.
A demain.

I just returned from having visited all the blogs.
Many are not up to date.
Kisses.
MaryannG
Such beautiful images and creativity!!
Can't wait to browse the blogs and kick my creativity into gear!!
Really interesting and so one of a kind and beautiful
What beautiful projects!
http://inmycreativeroom.blogspot.com/
I especially like Barbara's cabin card that says "Rejoice In The Quiet." I just love how she colored on blue paper. It almost gives me the sense that I'm seeing the cabin on a moonlit night or just at dusk on a winter evening. You have to have grown up in the country, like me, to get a sense of what a winter moonlit night is like and the bluish color the sky has.
The Garden of Gratitude stamp set is so adorable. Your tag is full of so much color and special touches I am sure your friend will love it and her flowers. Merry Christmas.
Barbara C's set of beautiful cards has me dumb struck... just simply gorgeous, all of them... http://inmycreativeroom.blogspot.com/2020/12/quiet-christmas-release-review.html inspired I am, Robyn
After receiving one digi a YEAR ago at Jennifer Dove's Boot Camp, I was thrilled to find you during the Black Friday events. Now I can enjoy your 12 days of beautiful Christmas postings and I look forward to making carts with your amazing designs!
Wow!! Lots of awesome inspiration from the design team! I love Broni and Cheryl's clean-and-simple takes with Bernard. I had to have a go with him and went CAS as well.
Love your beautiful trellis card with all the collaged images. I just came across some empty seed packets and I think they would work well for this type of card. Love the coloring you did, very clever card! GK
This card by Allison Cope is stunning!! http://yourmemoriescanada.blogspot.com/2020/11/quiet-christmas-joy-to-world-bouquet.html
I would totally CASE this one, as I love using a larger image and just a bit of patterned paper.
Hi Marcella,
I sort of CASED you with your watercoloured cardstock on my latest card using Garden of Gratitude: Boot Bouquet!

Running behind because I wasn't feeling so well, but glad I could start today with this great event of 12 days of inspiration.

Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

I don't think I have to say something about her colouring, that's always awesome but I can say I love the background on this card too.
In short, everything on this card is stunning!

It's a wow-card!
Thank you so much Christine for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.

http://www.thebuzzfromqueenb.com/2020/11/power-poppy-forest-fellas.html
This card is breathing love, kindness and warmth to me.
Not only because she used hearts on the background but also the choice of Toned Tan paper combined with the soft colouring.
And this card shows how versatile this stunning stamp set is.
Thank you so much Barbara for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.
Still catching up and for day four I CASE Julie's stunning card with the Enchanted Branches Woodland stamp set.

Thank you so much Saskia for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.
2 CASE items from Stacy Morgan. I love the Moose tag and her owl card. The moose tag colors are echoed throughout, from the paper to her coloring, the offset moose, the ribbons on top, the paper choice, etc. The whole thing is just perfectly put together. The owl card with all the blue touches, the combination of blue & Kraft, the embossing, the snowflakes, the ribbon... I love the composition of this one too.
Fore day 6 I CASE Cheryl.
This is the link to her gorgeous card https://cherylquilts.blogspot.com/2020/10/brand-new-from-power-poppy-mossy-pots.html

Thank you so much Nancy for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.
I think your creation is beautiful! I love all of the different elements you pulled together. Very unique. Very pretty. You look fantastic, too, Marcella! You GLOW, Girl!
I love all of the stamps in this collection. Having said that, I purchased the cute moose on Dec. 3 (order #55987) and could not find the download link. I have emailed Marcella 3 times asking me if she could email me the link and have not heard a word from her. I hope she is OK, but I would like to get my moose digi. Can anyone help>?
So excited to play along!
I love this card by Stacy

It ticks all the boxes for a clean and simple card, but every detail has been thought of so well it looks like a lot of work has gone into it.
I will sure copie this one, not for this Christmas but next Christmas there will be a lot of cards with the cute string of lights. I put this card to my Pinterest page so I only have to click on it to see it.
Thank you so much Barbara for sharing this stunning card, I love it, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

This is the link to her awesome card: http://inmycreativeroom.blogspot.com/2020/11/quiet-christmas-part-two-joy-to-world.html

Printed, foiled and colour, the beautiful shine of the gold foil she has captured in a video for us, this is a great example of a card I want to make.

Joining late, but enjoying the holiday cheer!
CASE a Bloomie! I Chose to CASE Gloria's Forest Fella (https://gloriascraps.blogspot.com/2020/11/power-poppy-creative-confetti-november.html). The reason I chose this card is I wanted to see if I could duplicate her beautiful snowy background - only digitally. I'm rally excited with my background - backgrounds have always been tough for me. So I followed her basic card design - but really enjoyed my own challenge of creating a snowy background. Disappointed with the photo, however, 'cuz my skirt has some awesome folds that disappeared in the photo. :( You can see my card at http://shortonideasaz.blogspot.com/2020/12/power-poppy-bloomie-case.html
This is amazing!! Thanks for all you do, Marcella!!
Reading your blog as you made your tag cracked me up. I love the fact it's a mish-mash of different things cause they all work. Love your tag!!
Today, day 10, I CASE a card from the lovely Bloomie Gloria, this is the link
https://gloriascraps.blogspot.com/2020/10/power-poppy-christmas-release-day-3.html
I would love to CASE this card because of the gorgeous colouring of the image, those flowers have so much depth.
The combination of the red, green and white is so traditional but the card looks so modern.
I didn't mention yet that my favorite colour is red and I was during the reveal of the stamp set immediately in love with this image!
So definitely a great card to copie.
Thank you so much Gloria for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.
another CASE a Bloomie card, this time it's a awesome one from Jennifer.
I love the warm and cozy feeling this beauty gives.
The moose is coloured awesome and the background, I love this gorgeous plaid in reds, fits the picture she was dreaming when looking at this stamp set, so well.
A great card to CASE, this is the linnk:

My CASE a Bloomie card for day 11 is the inspiration card of day 11 on the blog!
http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2020/12/12-days-of-christmas-day-11.html
The card is awesome, I still have to try no line watercolouring and the behind the scene photo's Jenny posted are giving me a good look how to copy this awesome work.
It is great to see that she has made the background as if there is a door on which this beautiful wreath hangs.
Thank you so much Jenny for another year of awesome inspirations, stay safe and Happy Holidays.
I love Broni's card here ... https://bronih.typepad.com/splashesofwatercolor/2020/12/merry-christmas-lights-color-throwdown-623.html
The gorgeous wreath made out of Christmas lights is coloured so beautifully - I love the glow Broni added around each light.
For the last day of this great event I CASE a card from Bloomie Leslie Miller.
This card is a dream and great example for every colourist.
the colours, the depth on the aesome bouquet, every thing on this card I want to copy, so very beautiful.

I love Stacy's gift cards. This is such a simple idea, but very striking and certainly better than just sticking money in a shop bought card!

Wow! Those are all beautiful cards!
looking forward to following the blog and getting new ideas and inspirations
I love your designs. I made several poinsettia with pomegranate Christmas cards this Christmas. I thought they were beautiful, One lady has called me to say how much she liked the one I set her, prettiest card she has received this year. I love your designs and I have few, some ditigal. All turned out great. Have my eyes on several more. You are so talented. Glad you are doing a blog to inspire us.

Great giveaway!!! Love all of your stamps, I use them quite frequently. I love the new healing bouquet with the lemon.
I like this case card with the coloring especially. Good way to use my new pencils! 😊

Love the digis but I have never successfully downloaded one. I bought some from you Marcella a couple of years ago and they are still somewhere in the ether! So many lovely ideas!
I love the colors and design of Allison's card featuring Forest Fellas:
