A very Happy Monday, everyone!! I would like to thank everyone who has written of your concerns about my Dad. He is out of the hospital and back in the Life Care Center but is not doing well at all. He is very confused and has alot of difficulty with mobility...can't use a fork or spoon now and can't pick up a glass...So he is back in therapy to see if there will be any improvement. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts.
I am hoping that you find this posting a special one because it is special to me for a couple of reasons!! I am very humbled that Siv at Steffens AS, a marvelous shop in Norway, asked me to showcase a Papilio stamp and she even made all arrangements for me to receive this lovely collection...Thank, Siv!! Hugs, and congratulations on your 3 year anniversary of the shop. This just may be the very first preview of this darling Nisse in all of Cyberia...lol
For my card I used Bazzill for the base, Prismatics and SU for all matting, and the DP is the new, gorgeous SEI Christmas Mint Collection which was a gift from Suzan. I machine stitched all major panels in RED. All coloring is Copics and Spica. I have used Crushed Velvet for all of the snow and all charms and dew drops are from Jayne at Crafty Feeling.
When I first received the stamps I thought that they were Santa but upon closer examination and research I find that this cute and sweet Nisse is really a little gnome who at Christmastime guards all of the farm animals and plays tricks on the children if they forget to place a bowl of porridge out for him. I even had to find out how to color him...red cap, dark knickers, a tweedy sweater or vest and gray beard. So I hope that all of my Scandinavian friends will let me know how I did!!
NOTE: The incredibly talented Malin is the designer of this stamp and leaves a comment below to give a bit more information on Nisse. Malin, thank you so much for such a kind, sweet, and informative comment.
On the front I also used some lovely poinsettias which I colored with Fire Engine Red Shimmerz, some red flower trim that I made into mini-poinsettias with dots of acrylic paint in the centers, a new MS garden trellis deep edge punch, a touch of sparkle trim, and red organza ribbon. If I forget anything, just email me!!
On the inside of the card, just more of the same BUT I also used another stamp from the collection on the jotting spot...this time the Christmas Goat which is really another gnome but dressed as a goat like creature...both of these traditions harken back to Viking times and are precursors to St Nicholas. These little goats are traditionally made from the last shafts of the harvest crops and symbolize the power of rejuvenation (I need lots of these...lol) and fertility (and none of these....hahah)
Gosh I love to read about these traditions from all of the countries...sooooo interesting!!!! So I hope you have enjoyed hearing about them in a synopsis form!!
AND now for the other SPECIAL reason for this post:

Hi, Jacque!
Your card is awesome. So much fun to see these stamps in use. Actually they've been around for a while, but they aren't sold through any shops. That's why they are rarely seen on the web. You are maybe the first one outside of Norway to own them. They are almost out of stock now too, so I have to order up some more. I'm so happy that people enjoy my designs :) The norwegian "nisse" usually lives in the barn, as you say. It is traditionally our version of Santa, actually. But off course, we also have a more friendly Santa nowadays, influenced by Santa Claus. The barn-gnomes (fjøsnisse) are rumoured to be both pouty and naughty (in a cute way). Keep creating! :))) Hugs - malin (papiliostamps)
Your father is in my thoughts..how hard it must be for you and frustrating for him. Hugs!!
Another gorgeous creation..you are just amazing!
Oh Jacque! I just knew you were working on something awesome again! This card is so beautiful! Well, every stamp you put in your hand turns out a masterpiece! I love to see creations using images from other cultures as crafting is a worldwide experience! Your 6-months blog anniversary candy is so very generous! I continue to pray for you Dad's full recovery, and keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Cami
Jacque I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I will keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers.. I love this image.. My grandma was from Norway and she would say Uff Da if she saw this.. We have lots of Norwegian dishes at Christmas time.. SUper job..
Happy Belated Blog-versary!!! How wonderful!

Jacque, I just love your new stamp and card. He is sooo cute. I love your work and became one of your followers when I started bloging. Hope your Dad gets better. I will put him on my prayer list.
Your cards are always so fantastic, Jacque . . . and we even get a little "history" with this one! I can see you're getting right into "holiday mode", so hoping it rubs off on me, as I want to get started on mine soon. Hmmm, maybe I can even win all the goodies to get me going!
Hugs, Lillian
Wow!! Incredible candy, thanks for the chance! Your blog is awesome so OF COURSE you've had that many visitors & followers!!
What a gorgeous card! I happily became a follower of your blog just now and posted your lovely blog candy on my blog! Thank you for the chance to win such yummy goodies!
What a lovely card & super coloring of the nisse! Many thanks for the chance to win your awesome candy, I've become a follower of your sweet blog, & also added the pic to my blog :)
Wonderful card! The barn gnome looking in the window makes me think of all the "people" out there who are alone, and often "look in the window" at families and wishing they had one and could participate in a family celebration. We all need to spread kindness and befriend someone who needs a friend. I put that MS deep edged garden lattice punch on "my" wish list. It is gorgeous! You have a wonderful talent evidenced by the great numbers who follow you and comment. My prayers are with your family and dad during this time. God gives us all challenges and hurdles in our lives. "How" we go through is the test. May you glorify Him who made us, and sustains us and He will give you peace for the journey. I will try to put your blog candy on my blog. Hugs
Thank you for the opportunity for this awesome candy. I love your work. I added a link to my blog and became a follower.
Holy cow Jacque! Your blog is amazing. As soon as I figure out how to do it (sorry, new blogger!) I will add your blog to mine but I DID subscribe. You now have 3 hundred and forty ONE followers!
Your cards are lovely (as always)
Thanks so much for this chanse to winning all these goodies!
