New Year's Team Stamp It Blog Hop

Happy New Year!

What a fun way to bring in the new year with none other than a sparkling card! Honestly, I was having quite a bit of trouble coming up with a card, but I fell back on my ever faithful glimmer paper and problem solved!

It's a rather simple card to make with a big impact.  The Pick A Pennant stamp set and thinlets are a perfect combination with glimmer paper, sequins and twinkle stars embellishments.  Simply choose your favorite color of cardstock, Sparkle glimmer paper and ink to make the banners. Apply all of the shiny embellishments that your heart desires! (Pro tip: I trimmed the ends of the banner dies to fit on the card nicely and I covered the ends with embellishments to give it a pinned-up look.)

Hope you enjoyed my card and thanks for stopping by!  Have fun "hopping"!

Christmas Theme Blog Hop

Merry Christmas!  Welcome to my blog!  I am a hobby demonstrator in Alaska.  I love card making! I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do. I originally intended to us the All is Bright suite, but ended up with a combination of suites with a completely different design than I originally thought I wanted to do.

After stamping the card base on real red cardstock with the Making Christmas Bright string of lights stamp with Real Red ink, I layered the Joyous Noel copper glimmer paper on a real red cardstock base.  A Christmas tree from the Ready for Christmas stamp set is stamped in Garden Green on Mossy Meadow and cut out using the Christmas staircase thinlets dies.  Layered on top of the tree is Merry Christmas from the Merry Christmas thinlets dies on the Merry Merlot glimmer paper.  The Merry Christmas thinlets dies add the perfect elegant touch to my Christmas card.  Decorate the tree with any embellishments you like, but I love the red and clear rhinestones.

The inside sentiment from the Making Christmas Bright stamp set with a strip of copper glimmer paper between the two stamps continues the elegance from the front.  The sentiment is stamped in Merry Merlot ink.

Contest and last month's winner!

Thanksgiving Blog Hop!

Gobble, gobble, gobble!

This cute little fellow was so fun to create! I used a multitude of thinlets and punches to get the shapes to build my turkey.  The thinlets used include

Body and head: Layering Circles framelits

Feathers and feet: Detailed Leaves thinlets

Neck and wattle: Animal friends thinlets giraffe

Bow tie: Cookie Cutter punch

Beak is fussy cut

Front sentiment die cut: Tailored Tag punch

Front and Inside sentiments: Pleasant Pheasants stamp set

The card itself has galvanized metallic paper layered on top of Pumpkin Pie glimmer paper layered on top of the card base in Early Espresso.  The inside insert is in Crumb Cake.  Sentiments are stamped in Cajun Craze.

For finishing touches, I added copper thread under the front sentiment and tied a bow with Braided Linen trim. Lastly add googly eyes to the turkey!

It's a fantastic card to send to family and friends this upcoming Thanksgiving!
