Making Christmas Bright

Happy Wednesday! I've been working on my projects for my Christmas card Stamp-A-Stack classes this week and wanted to share one of the cards I made with the Making Christmas Bright bundle. The little lights are so adorable and having a punch to cut them out is brilliant! It's a pretty simple card to put together so I won't bore you with the directions. The colors I used are Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green with a touch of Daffodil Delight. The tops of the lights and the accent circle are both cut from the Sparkle Glimmer paper. For the flagged panel in the back I used the Santa's Workshop designer series paper but you could easily use the brights DSP. Either would work well!


This was a quick, sweet little card to put together. Definitely wouldn't be hard to make a bunch for Christmas this year!

Sweet Stampede Team Blog Hop # 007 - Anything Fall

Welcome back to the Sweet Stampede Blog Hop!  
This month is all about Fall.  


My project is an 8" x 8" Fall sampler using the Falling For Leaves bundle from the new Holiday 2018 catalog. I just love the  Detailed Leaves thinlit dies and the stamp set is so pretty. It's just perfect for fall! The frame is a shadowbox so it has lots of room for layers and embellishment. This particular one came from Michaels. 



I started with an 8" x 8" piece of Crumb Cake card stock as my background. The Crushed Curry square in the top left corner measures 4-3/4" x 4-3/4". The patterned paper layer is 4-1/2' x 4-1/2".  I used the woodgrain pattern from the Country Lane Designer Series paper. I embossed the Silver Foil paper using the Tin Tile embossing folder and then layered on the leaves that I stamped and die cut and the panel with the word Fall. I added one of the cute galvanized clips and the braided linen trim bow. 


The Crushed Curry base card stock for the top right piece measures 2-1/4" x 4-3/4". I used another strip of the Blackberry Bliss patterned paper and cut the decorative edge in Cajun Craze to use as the next layer. More stamped and die cut leaves added with dimensionals finished of this panel nicely.


The bottom section of Crushed Curry also measures 4-3/4" x 2 1/4". The coordinating piece of pattern paper measures 4-1/2" x 2". I stamped this beautiful sentiment from the Country Home stamp set in Garden Green but you could certainly use one from the Falling For Leaves stamp set also. I die cut the large leaf in Blackberry Bliss and then attached a galvanized button with a glue dot and added a linen thread bow. The right lower square is just a piece of Crushed Curry cut in a 2-1/4" square with a piece of designer series paper cut at 2" square. The paper was so pretty I really didn't think it needed any extra embellishments to finish it off. I hope you enjoyed this project...
