First, I stamped my sentiment on the Basic White square and punched it out, using the 1-1/2" Circle Punch.

I then punched out a 1-3/4" Circle from the Gold Glimmer Paper.

I adhered the Basic White circle onto the Gold Glimmer circle, using glue dots.

Next, I punched out a Basic Black cat and a Basic Gray cat. 

I then adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic White card front.

Jingle Bells

I love to see glitter on a Christmas card, but I do not like for the glitter to end up on my hands, floor, table, clothes, etc. You know what I mean. This is why I like this glitter paper. The glitter stays on the card. What are your thoughts?

Stamps:

   Santa's Sleigh

Paper:

   Real Red A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Gold Glitter 3-1/8 x 1-3/4

   Crumb Cake 2 x 3

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Santa's Sleigh Framelits Dies

   Baker's Twine Trio Pack

   Mini Jingle Bells

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut the reindeer on Crumb Cake.

I then die cut the sleigh on glitter paper. It is easier to die cut on the back of the glitter paper, but not necessary.

Next, I stamped my sleigh and sentiment on the Whisper White panel.

I adhered the glitter sleigh onto the stamped sleigh.

I added a small gold bow to the left of the sentiment and topped it off with a few jingle bells. 

I attached the reindeer using dimensionals on the body only. I left the head alone until after I tied the twine from the reindeer to the sleigh. I went around the reindeer's neck and then onto the sleigh. I tied it off with a bow. I then added a dimensional to the head of the reindeer.

The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Twisted Balloon

Balloons are mostly used for bringing smiles to people's faces. We may send balloons to someone who is sick, hoping the balloons will help them smile. We might send balloons to celebrate a special occasion or day. It doesn't matter; balloons are fun! Here is a balloon with a golden banner to celebrate that special day. Thoughts?

Lastly, I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

It is quite easy to switch out the colors to the recipient's favorite colors, or the celebrate banner to a congratulations or welcome banner.

HAPPY STAMPING!

 

Burst of In-Colors

Colors bring happy to the world. Every year Stampin' Up! introduces 5 new colors that will stick around for 2 years. I decided to document the colors for the year 2016 by stamping with each color and including a piece of cardstock. I do like this design and idea. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Sunburst Sayings

   Gorgeous Grunge

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Whisper White 5 x 6-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4

   Gold Glimmer 5 x 6-1/2

   Peekaboo Peach 1-1/4" Circle

   Flirty Flamingo 1-3/8" Circle

   Sweet Sugarplum 1-1/2" Circle

   Emerald Envy 1-3/4" Circle

Ink:

   Dapper Denim

   Emerald Envy

   Flirty Flamingo

   Peekaboo Peach

   Sweet Sugarplum

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Sunburst Thinlits Dies

   1-1/4" Circle Punch

   1-3/8" Circle Punch

   1-1/2" Circle Punch

   1-3/4" Circle Punch

   Dimensionals

   Paper Snips

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the sunburst in Whisper White and Gold Glimmer.

Next, I stamped each ray with a color: 2 colors are stamped 3 times, and 3 colors are stamped 2 times = 12 rays. I used a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge for this.

I punched a circle from 4 of the colors and stamped the sentiment using Dapper Denim. The colors are listed in order under the paper heading. They are adhered together using liquid glue.

I used liquid glue on the back of the rays to attach them to the Basic Black card base. First the Gold Glimmer paper, then the stamped Whisper White. I then trimmed the rays down to size. 

The center is attached using dimensionals. The 5-1/4 x 4" Whisper White panel is for the inside of the card.
