Joyful Days Card ~ Team Challenge

Hello! I have a really easy Christmas Card to share with you today that is part of a Team Challenge. The challenge is to share an idea for a Christmas Card. Easy enough, right? Well this card was SO easy to make because I used a new product called Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack.

The pack comes with a total of 54 card fronts in two sizes: 4" x 6" and 3" x 4". The designs are so pretty and some even have sentiments on them!

I selected the small card with a pine wreath and empty center. Using the Winter Scenes stamp set I picked out the smallest scene to fit inside the wreath. I added some colors with markers for the trees and door. The house was colored using ink off a block and a Water Painter (back in stock....yea!). At the end I used Wink of Stella for the snow. It's hard to see but I hope the second photo shows it off a bit. This pieces is layered on Gold Foil for a bit of glitz.

The sentiment was one of the other cards that I trimmed down, saving the pieces for another project because they are so nice. Using our Gold Striped Ribbon I wove a piece for behind the sentiment then glued it down. A sprinkle of gold dots around the card filled in the red space a bit and added a nice touch.

Winter Scene Card ~ Team Challenge

Hello! Today I'm sharing another project for our August Team Challenge. This challenge is to create a project with a Winter or Snow theme. Since I just got my order from our upcoming September Online Exclusives I was all set to create for this theme!

I love using blues with snow/winter. Misty Moonlight is such a pretty shade of blue and pairs well with white and the glittery accents I've used.

I knew I wanted to use our Shimmery White Embossing Paste for the snowflakes so I used several of the dies to create a stencil. This time I used cardstock for the stencil but I think I'll make a new one using a piece of window plastic to make it last.

The image is simply stamped in Misty Moonlight ink in die cut circle. This circle is then layered on a die cut Glimmer paper a bit larger. Because it's harder to stick anything to glimmer paper I popped up the white circle with Stampin' Dimensionals. It sticks well and adds dimension.

The addition of a bow and some Rhinestones finished the look. The photo doesn't really do it justice.

This is the stencil I created. Using a palette knife all you have to do is smear a bit of the embossing paste across the openings of the stencil. Scrape off the excess and gently peel up the stencil. Now you have a pretty, sparkly embossed image. Just let it dry for a bit then add to your project. It's a great way to accent your other details.
