I hope everyone has a great Holiday season. I’m off on my annual blog break until the new year.
Merry Christmas 2018
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card. Tomorrow is the big day, but before we get there, I had one more card to share with you. I love all the pretty patterned paper Stampin’ Up! comes out with every year. I decided to show off that paper with a simple card for the season.

Merlot Sparkles
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card full of shimmer and shine. I love a bit of sparkle on my cards, but wanted it to be subtle. And so I layered some great DSP pieces on top of a larger piece of Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper. The sparkle is sneaky! To bring up my sentiment, I also wrapped some copper thread around underneath. Love that shine!

Lime and Lipstick Christmas
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card featuring nontraditional colors. I love lime green and pink for Christmas cards, so I ran with that color palette. After searching through my DSP container, I stumbled upon the Broadway Bound DSP featuring both colors. Perfect! I set to creating a stack of presents as the center piece of my card. I kept the design simple and only added a sentiment and piece of ribbon to finish the card.

Farmhouse Blessings
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a color technique. I’m all about my Stampin’ Up! markers to add that little bit of something extra to my cards. For today’s card, I layered on the patterns before stamping and coloring in my central image and sentiment. Every once in awhile, I love playing with a ton of patterns.
