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.
