Merry Christmas Sparkle & Shine

Today’s card has a little sparkle and shine — it is simple but very elegant.  The Gold Foil Sheet, 3/8″ Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon and Gold Metallic Pearls add the extra touch to the All is Bright Designer Paper.  By itself the sheet of designer paper with the ornaments isn’t much but a couple of quick touches and you have beautiful.

I think this card is simple stamping, but maybe with the supplies used it jumps up a little to the casual stamper  – those who have a few more supplies.  You just stamp “Merry” and “Christmas” and the swirly from the Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set with VersaMark ink.  Next heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder.  You will cut out embossed image using the largest oval from Stitched Shapes Framelit.  Using Gold Foil Sheet cut out a scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Framelits.  The card base is Thick Whisper White with a layer of Gold Foil and then the ornament designer paper — don’t forget to add the 3/8″ Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon.  The finishing touch — Gold Metallic Pearls added to the swirly.

Stack of Gift Christmas Card

WooHoo, we got snow yesterday!!!  We are definitely in the Christmas spirit in the Chicagoland area.  As I am writing this post, we have about 10 or 11 inches so far and it is still snowing.  I have a snow day today so you know what I’ll be doing — creating projects for my Santa’s Workshop next week.

This is a card we made for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack last week.  We used the Quilt Top Embossing Folder for the background and the All is Bright Designer Paper for the stack of presents.  The Merry Christmas Thinlits were used with Call Me Clover cardstock for the “Merry” — these are such fun script thinlits.  We wrapped the stack of presents with the Real Red 3/8″ Mixed Satin Ribbon and added a bow on top.

A very simple but fun card.  My stamper, Sandi, brought her exchange students to this class – Ren from Japan and Carlo from Italy.  They were the stars of the class and I think they had a blast.  Ren went home and made more of this card to send to family and friends.

 

Sandi, Carlo and Ren

 

Ren is happy with his card and he loved the snacks Maria and Sharon brought.
