Happy Sunday, how’s your weekend going? I’ve been using this weekend as holiday prep, making sure I have all the ingredients for our annual Christmas morning monkey bread and Broccoli & Rice casserole I make for Christmas dinner, getting the gifts together for the Christmas Eve grab bag and most important – my Christmas manicure & pedicure – Red with Sparkles!
Today’s card is for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge – Inspiration – Holiday. Check out their blog here, why not play along. When I first saw the banner for this challenge right away I knew I wanted to use the All is Bright Designer Series Paper Ornament print paper.
To make my card I started with a rectangle of the designer series paper and before adhering it to a mat of Gold Foil, I die cut a large scalloped oval to use as a mat for the sentiment, which is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment is from Merry Christmas to All and heat embossed with Gold Embossing powder. Don’t forget to use your embossing buddy on the Very Vanilla card stock before stamping to remove any static or oils from the paper – this helps with “stray” powder. The sprigs are from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies, part of the First Frost Bundle. Sprigs are die cut in both Gold & Silver Foil Sheets along with Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The final touches include Metallic Pearls and Rhinestones.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope you are inspired to try paper crafting and stamping.
