One Big Beautiful Ornament

Today’s card features one big stamped imaged! I grabbed this stamp set from a FB Stampin’ Up! buying and selling group for really cheap. I don’t know why I never bought it. I love the big ornament and the ability to color it however I like. For these cards, I heat embossed the image in gold, copper, silver, and pewter. From there, I created color groups and started coloring. Pairing the image with a coordinating cardstock and DSP scrap completes my card.

Hanging Ornaments

Today’s card inspiration comes from this card from Amy Koenders @ Stamp with Amy K. I loved the heat embossed hanging ornaments with the fun colored ornaments. I kept the rest simple with some pops of DSP as background and a coordinating ribbon. I pulled ton from my paper scrap stash and retired ribbon stash. I think that is the theme of this year’s Christmas cards.

Lots of Baubles

Today’s card inspiration comes from this card from Linda Dalke. I love the shine on this design and had to make my own! This card definitely took the longest to create of any cards this season, but the results are stunning! I first embossed my ornaments in gold (2), silver (2), pewter, and copper. From there I picked a few color combination to color the ornaments with my Stampin’ Blends. I made two more traditional color ornaments and four frosty winter ornaments. For my sentiment, I kept it simple with a heat embossed Deck the Halls.

Variations of colors. I think the blues with the copper embossing might be my favorite!
