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!

Glimmer and Glitz 

I had so much fun designing this card!! It's an easy card with an elegant look!! My inspiration came from Jean Hall over on Facebook. 

I first stamped the Holly image from the set Christmas Gleaming onto a piece of Window Sheet using Stazon Ink. Let this dry overnight or carefully heat set it with your Heat Tool. Colour on the opposite side from the stamped image using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. Add a few Glue Dots and attach this piece to some Sparkle Glimmer paper, then fussy cut it out. 

My card base is Whisper White with another piece of Whisper White cut to 4" x 51/4", emboss using the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. Attached the gorgeous Real Red Ruched Ribbon to the embossed panel. The sentiment is from the Christmas Rose set from the Christmastime Is Here Suite. I stamped it in Memento Black and used the die from the Roses set which is also part of the Christmastime Is Here Suite. I also cut out 1 more of the die shapes in Silver Glimmer Paper, cut it in half and off-set it behind the Whisper White sentiment piece. I like how it's just showing slightly. I finished the card off with a few Rhinestones for added sparkle!!!

Hope you enjoyed todays Sparkly card!!

Happy stamping and Creating!
