Merry Monday.....Joyful Christmas


Happy Hump Day Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Merry Monday Challenge this week. 


Use Black, gold and Silver! I knew I want to play along this week when I took a peek at the challenge. I love these colors for Christmas, well the gold and silver and with the added black I thought it would be fun!

When I thought about what to do for my card, well let me say what I finished up with is NOT what I started out with but I do like my finished card so I guess that is all that matters in the end!! LOL!!

The base of the card is Basic Black and then I used a layer of the SU silver foil paper and then another layer of black.
I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Joyful Christmas with my Gold and Silver Encore pads onto black card stock. I cut them out and layered them up putting a dimensional between the large and small layers.

I added some gold little pearls to the center and cut a few swirls and leaves with the gold foil to tuck in around the flower.
The sentiment is from the same set and I stamped it with Silver ink.
I made my ribbon treatment with the 1/8 inch silver ribbon and added a couple of frosted jungle bells. I  attached then to the bow with some silver wire. I curled the wire around a small wooden skewer to make the curls. 
This card with definitely need to be hand delivered or I may need to make a special envelope/box for it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Merry Monday......Merry & Bright


Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a cute little ornament card I made using the challenge this week on the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog.


I decide to make a little shaped card, so I pulled out my Stampin Up Floral Frames Dies. 
I used some Crumb Cake card stock folded in half to cut out the base.
The DSP is from a retired pack, don't know the name.

I stamped the cute little image from the Best of Snow stamp set onto some vanilla card stock and lightly colored using my aqua painter and ink pads.


The sentiment is from the Endless Wishes stamp set. I added a button and some twine to the sentiment piece and then used some retired 1-1/4" chocolate chip striped  to the top.

Hope you like it!
