Pretty Peacock Merry Christmas 

I love how elegant this card is!

I used Pretty Peacock Card Stock and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Gorgeous DSP!!!

The card base is Basic Black. Emboss the Pretty Peacock layer with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder (it's retiring! No!!), add a strip of the DSP to the bottom of the layer. Wrap some Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon around this layer then attach to the card base. Stamp the Merry Christmas from the Christmastime Is Here Suite in VersaMark, emboss with Gold Embossing Powder. Cut it out with the Die from Christmastime Is Here. Stamp the Holly in Memento Black 2X using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set. Using Old Olive Blends, colour the Holly. I used a Copper metallic Sharpie to colour in the berries. Fussy cut it out and bling them up with Wink Of Stella! Add the sentiment and Holly to the card using Dimensionals. 

Supplies Used:

Card Stock/DSP: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Pretty Peacock and Brightly Gleaming DSP
Ink: VersaMark and Black Memento
Stamps: Christmastime Is Here and Christmas Gleaming
Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Christmastime Is Here Die, Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Ribbon and the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Glass Ornament Card

I made this card for another challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!
Check it out here: https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com


I used the beautiful Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set and coordinating Punches. I love using punches, it makes for quick and easy cards!!

I wanted my ornament to shine like the pretty glass baubles we hang on our Christmas Tree. So after I punched out my stamped ornament and coloured it, I also punched out one from a Window Sheet and using a smudge of Tombow glue I attached them together. Now my ornament looks like glass!! (Hard to capture in a photo)

The card base is Crumb Cake with a panel of Pretty Peacock. Emboss the Pretty Peacock using the Subtle Embossing Folder. Cut one square using the largest Stitched Square Die, emboss with Stylish Scroll and cut another slightly smaller square from the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. Stamp the ornament in VersaMark and emboss with Silver Embossing Powder. Colour in with Balmy Blue and Light Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends. Punch out with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack and punch another one using a Window Sheet. I trimmed both pieces closer to the edge. Using only a teeny tiny amount of Tombow, glue the Window Sheet piece to the embossed ornament, trim Window Sheet down to match the ornament. Tie a little bow with the Copper Trim. Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black using the Host Set, Greatest Part Of Christmas. (Love, love this set!!) Layer it onto a piece of Copper Foil. 

Hope you enjoyed todays card! I'd love for you to comment!!
