Brightest Glow


I know it's August, but I've been having such fun playing with the Lights Aglow suite that I couldn't stop. This is a card we made at our Christmas in July retreat last week and I though you all would like to see it to. If you want more info on how to make it, please watch my Facebook live from 8/1/22 which I will link below. 

First, gather your supplies.   

1. Cherry Cobbler Cardstock--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4"
         Another piece 4 by 5 1/4", a third piece 3 by 3"
2. Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper--cut the circle frame 3 by 3"
3. Basic White Carstock for the inside 3 3/4 by 5" and a piece cut with the 3rd to largest Stylish Shapes dies
4. Gold Glimmer Paper--2 strips 3/8 by 5 1/4"
5. Stamp Set-- Brightest Glow (#159542 or the bundle #159552), Christmas Lights (#159538)
6. Dies-- Stylish Shapes (from the Annual Catalog #159183)
7. Embossing Folder-- Wintery 3D (From the Annual Catalog #155433)
8. Red & Green Adhesive Backed Pearls (#159963)
9. Ink--Cherry Cobbler
10. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Blending Brushes

Start by folding your card base in half along the score lines. Embose the 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the Wintery 3D embossing folder. Be sure the center it in the folder so there is an even small strip that isn't embossed along both of the long sides. Attach your strips of Gold Glimmer paper to those edges.  Attach this to your card front with glue or Dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on the Basic White circle then glue that in the center of the DSP square. Take your 3 by 3" plain Cherry Cobbler square and attach that to the back of the first square making a diamond pattern like below. Now attach that to the card using Dimensionals. Scatter 3 Gold Festive Pearls wherever you like.

For the inside, stamp a sentiment and a few of the small snowflakes from the Christmas Lights stamp set on the 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Basic White. Don't forget to stamp some snowflakes on your envelope too.

Facebook changed things recently so my other links don't seem to be working. Sorry about that.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side.
