All that Glitters

Image
Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is ALL THAT GLITTERS. I went with a very unusual card for this one, I wanted to be totally different!  Check it out........ Not your usual Christmas card, right??  Well, I was in the mood to make a movement card so I thought about how I could incorporate the slider card dies into my card.  PEACE ON EARTH was the answer!  The earth in the SHOOTING STAR fit the bill. The card base was done in black so the silver foil paper would really stand out.  I added in silver glimmer paper and silver embossing as well.  There is even shimmer on the earth that was added with the clear WINK OF STELLA. I hope you've enjoyed this idea, making an unusual Christmas card was so much fun! My supply list is below so you can give this a try! SUPPLIES: STAMPS:  Shooting Star, Labeler Alphabet INKS:  Versa Mark, Black Archival PAPER:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Foil, Silver Glimmer ACCESSORIES:    Sliding Star...

Christmas Pines

Another quick and easy Christmas card for today!  I'm using CHRISTMAS PINES again and featuring the PINE BOUGH EMBOSSING FOLDER with PRESENTS AND PINECONES DSP . While this is an easy card to make, it still is quite beautiful!  The embossed pine needles really make this card stand out.  I even added a little shimmer to them by using WINK OF STELLA. And the designer paper is a perfect match!  The small pinecones and pine branches are a compliment to the card design.

Song Inspired

Image
Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is INSPIRED BY A CHRISTMAS SONG. One of the first songs to pop into my mind was "Let is Snow" since it's a favorite of mine. To mimic snow in a different way, I used the silver polka dots designer acetate.  Love silver at this time of year....it's so joyful and festive! To keep the silver theme going, I added a silver glimmer reindeer.  He's very majestic, don't you think!! I also went with a bold sentiment and heat embossed "Let it Snow" in white on Basic Black cardstock since it's the song that inspired all of this.  And of course since I love sequins, I had to add in a few of the Fancy Frost sequins.  They were the perfect finishing touch!! SUPPLIES: STAMPS:  Santa's Sleigh, Labeler Alphabet INKS:  Versa Mark PAPER:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer, Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate ACCESSORIES:    Santa's Sleigh Thinlit Dies, Fancy Frost ...

Sparkly Reindeer

I've gone clean and simple today with the beautiful SANTA'S SLEIGH BUNDLE . I love white on white for the card base and top layer.  The gold glimmer reindeer really stands out and sparkles this way!  I added embossing for more interest and dimension.  The PINE BOUGH Embossing Folder is just perfect for a clean and simple look in white. Adding in a sentiment with EMERALD ENVY gives just a hint of color and really pops on this card.  This has been my color of choice so far for Christmas, I just love it! And speaking of possibilities, have you thought about all that can be done with the gorgeous stamps in the Holiday Catalog but feel overwhelmed??  Well, I have a solution for you!  The NOVEMBER MINI SESSION from CREATE WITH CONNIE AND MARY gives you 5 FULL TUTORIALS using new stamps so all the work is done for you!!!!
