I have let the Designer Series Paper do the hard work for this theme in our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The Lights Aglow Specialty Paper already had the shine so I just added a few extras to create this card with Sparkle and Shine.
The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper is a very cost effective way to add some glitz to your card. It’s also lightweight so it doesn’t make your card too bulky for postage. A sentiment from the Hope & Peace stamp set embossed in Gold adds a little more shine.
I was a little bit slow to start with this sketch as I was having some trouble what to do with that centre section. After I heat embossed the candy cane background I wanted a nice contrast. This came with some strips cut from the Tea Boutique Memories & More Cards which I angled for the centre part of the sketch.
To tone the Parakeet Party down I added a strip of Sweet Sorbet which was embossed with the Wintry Embossing Folder. This adds a touch of texture behind those busy front panels.
A simple heart stamped and fussy cut from the Ringed with Nature stamp set was just the perfect finishing touch for this project.

For today’s card I had to become extra creative as I didn’t have many stamps or dies with stars in them. I love this #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge which is making me put on my thinking cap!
First thing I did was have a squiz through my Designer Series Paper.This gave me a few options and a base to work with. This set of Black paper in the Lights Aglow DSP is chic and has a lovely elegant look to it.
A beautiful Distressed Gold Paper border adds definition between the two different patterns of DSP. Gold ribbon and a mix of embellishments bring this card together without taking away from the starry look of it.

I’ve created a simple card for Day 15 in our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge with a focus on a bow.
I used the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper with some trees fussy cut and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can choose this paper with your Stampin’ Rewards when your order total (or workshop total) is over $250.
The ribbon was coloured with a Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend to finish my card off with a bow. I hope you give this card a try. It’s a fun sketch and quick to create.

For our Step into Christmas theme of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge I have pretty much taken a literal look at this.
One of the first decorations that go up in our home is the wreath on the front door and any visitor has to step through our front door to come in, hence the ‘step into Christmas’. I stamped a background using Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce ink and then die cut the wreaths from this piece of Cardstock. I felt the wreath really pops against the Black timber background.
A few splatters of White embossing and a simple sentiment completes this card which I would say has a bit of a modern twist with it’s Black base.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
