Thinking of You at Christmas Time

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

I went with a quick Christmas Card using these lovely, non-traditional colors –

I started with one of the note card sized card bases. Next, I used one of the dies from the Detailed Bands Dies in Gold Foil.

The sentiment is from the hostess set, Greatest Part of Christmas.

Simple. Elegant. Quick.

Happy Sunday!

How about some Christmas inspiration?

Our theme this month is Christmas!

I went with a lovely gift card holder –

This Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper just makes this stunning!!!

Bonus as this uses a little over 1/2 sheet of card stock! Meaning you can make 2 from a single sheet of card stock!

Night of Navy base is 4 1/4 x 11,
scored at 4, 5 1/2, 7
another Night of Navy piece is cut 4 /14 x 4, scored in half at 2
fold base like a W
adhere together the ^ (bottom part of the W), together with Tear & Tape
looking at the finished card inside, adhere the strip created to one side of the inside creating a pocket for your gift card, I decorated mine with a strip of Designer Series Paper
add a piece of Very vanilla to inside to stamp sentiment / greeting
fold in half other piece of Night of Navy card stock
adhere to back of base at the top
add Designer Series Paper to top and front to resemble a gift
tie ribbon around to close
I also used a min Velcro dot for additional closure

Questions, please ask!

Make a Wish

Happy day to you!

I’ve been rather caught up in creating seasonal cards and have forgotten to make what we always need – a birthday card!

I have soo much pretty seasonal paper from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday mini that I challenged myself to use some of it for non-holiday cards, like a birthday.

Here is a lovely example –

Very elegant and very pretty!

This is the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. It is all nontraditional colors with lots of copper accents.

I paired it with the bold, Copper Foil Wish from the Broadway Lights Dies.

I added the sentiment from the coordinating stamp, Broadway Birthday, and the punched star is from the Twinkle Builder Punch.

Pretty easy and very lovely. And, I used a Christmas paper too!

Dies / Embossing – Broadway Lights Dies
Bundle – Broadway Birthday (no longer sold as a bundle, but separately)
Card Stock – Petal Pink, Night of Navy, Copper Foil

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Let it Shine

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards with shine!

I think the Brightly Gleaming Suite is perfect for this!

It is hard to capture the beauty of this paper on camera! Parts of it are copper metallic!

I added the ornament in Copper Foil to bring that out in the paper. It was embossed with the Stylish Scroll Embossing folder. To finish it off, a bow from the 1/4″ Copper Trim was just the right touch!

I stamped the sentiment from the sold out Celestial Copper Delicata ink.

So pretty!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
