Making Christmas Bright

Hi stampers!  I'm back today with another creation using the super cute Making Christmas Bright stamp set.  I made a bright and colorful card with this set last week and shared it with a friend.  After seeing it, she challenged me to use the same set, but this time using pastel colors, a doily, sequins and twine.  Given the fact that I'm not one to turn down a challenge, I happily accepted!

I pulled out some of the softer Stampin' Blends to color the adorable Christmas lights, added a few strips of coordinating cardstock, a doily, some sequins and some twine...and DONE!  It's a pretty simple card, but simple is good!  This would be a great card for a stamp class.  You could easy step it down a bit or even step it up a bit more!  Either way, the color combo is fun for a little non-traditional Christmas creation.
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Gray, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, Whisper White
Ink ~ Basic Gray, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Stampin' Blends:  Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam
Stamp Set ~ Making Christmas Brigth
Other Supplies ~ Iridescent Sequins, Silver Bakers Twine, Pearlized Doilies, Layering Circles Framelits

It's been a bit of a hectic week for me so far and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all that we have going on.  Who ever decided that it was a good idea to have 3 kids playing 4 different sports this fall must have been crazy!  Oh wait...that was me that gave that okay.  I know once we get into a routine and they kids go back to school, all will be well.  It's a good thing I always make a little time to escape to my craft room to blow off a bit of steam!

Be sure to check back again soon!  I have more creations up my sleeve!

Happy Stamping!

Not-so-traditional Christmas Colors

 Good morning happy stampers!  Are you all ready for Christmas or are you scrambling around like I am finishing up those few last minute details?  With as fast as time goes by, I need to start my prep for next years Christmas on New Years day!
One of my favorite parts of Christmas are all of our family traditions...decorating the tree, our beloved Monty the Elf, Christmas movies and so much more!  But sometimes it's fun to break tradition and do something different....gasp!  Okay, not too different, but how about some different colors for a Christmas card?  Don't worry, they aren't too wild and crazy...I'm only changing up the traditional red for some Watermelon Wonder and throwing in a little Pool Party :-)
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party
Ink ~ VersaMark, Watermelon Wonder
Stamp Sets ~ Celebrate Today, Holly Jolly Greetings
Other Supplies ~ Clear Embossing Powder, Christmas Greetings Thinlits, Balloon Framelits, Silver Cording Trim, Metallic Sequins
 
I had so much fun with this card that I decided to flip things over, change a few elements and turn it into a birthday card!  I love it when this happens!


 
Here's to a very merry week for all of you and best of luck to everyone wrapping up those last minute details!
 
Happy stamping!
