Hi there! I hadn’t used my Ornament Keepsakes stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog so I inked that up for this Christmas card, featuring the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper. The paper coordinates with Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla so those are the main colors I used, but I also added in some Certainly Celery which I picked up from the polka dotted pattern. After I’d already glued the patterned papers down, I wished I had put the polka dotted paper in front but too late! There is also a bit of glitter on the main image – I used my Two-Way Glue Pen to apply dots within the ornament’s design and then put some of the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it before the glue dried! So pretty in real life – sorry you can’t see it in the picture very well. Also I attached the tiny sentiment with a Vintage Trinket safety pin – I’ve had them for a while but I’ve used the brads and not the pins…gotta use the pins more as I LOVE the look on this card! I pinned it through the seam binding ribbon, which is my favorite ribbon to tie into a bow – very easy to manipulate and not heavy so this card should still be mailable. However, the number of layers on this card might make it over the weight limit!!! 🙂 I hope you enjoyed my first challenge card I’ve done since having a blog. Combining so many challenges, really forced me to stretch my creativity and I LOVED it!!! But I didn’t get my Tool Time Thursday video done yet so I’ll work on that!
This card was entered into challenges at: My Time to Craft, Papertake Weekly, Mojo Monday, Forever Friends, 365 Cards, Stamp-n-Doodle, House of Gilli, Craft Your Days Away, Whimsy Inspirations, No Matter Which, Whoopsie Daisy, Just Some Lines, and Paper Crafting Journey.

Hi there! Another one of my Convention swaps today, but this one is a Christmas card! How many of you make your own Christmas cards? I’ve never gotten it done before (always great intentions), but this year I’m going to do it!!! For a lot of us, that means starting early! I’m going to start next month with a series of card making classes – I plan to make the same ones as my customers and then get them done right after the class is over! You know what they say, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” so I’ve made a plan!
Anyway, back to the card! It uses the gorgeous new In Color, Gumball Green with a favorite of mine, Cherry Cobbler! The color combination was “stolen” from the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper in the 2012-2013 Catalog. This card would look gorgeous in many other color combos as well! You could even add some glitter too! The Very Vanilla panel is embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – I apologize that you can’t see it very well in the photo! I added 2 of my favorite things that I use on nearly every card to finish it off: Basic Rhinestone Jewels and ribbon! In this case I did a really simple ribbon treatment, just tie a knot in your Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Scallop Dots Ribbon about 2″ down and then measure it against the panel and cut it to the right length. Wrap the ends around the back of the panel and scotch tape them onto the card stock so they don’t move! So easy, especially if you’re mass-producing and struggle with tying bows or knots. (Check out my “Tying the Perfect Knot” Video from this week for help if you struggle with that!)
