COLOURFUL CHRISTMAS BAUBLES AND BELLS

This week the Freshly Brewed Project team want to share a project for Christmas that is funky and using bright colours.

When I saw the theme for this week’s blog hop I knew that I wanted to use the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and the Gingerbread Dies.

The Rainbow Glimmer Paper was used to cut the background layers for bells and baubles. Then, after adding Adhesive Sheets to the back of some coordinating cardstock, I cut the more intricate layers and secured them to the glimmer paper shapes.

When the five shapes were completed I punched holes in the tops so that I could thread the silver Simply Elegant Trim through the three bells. Once threaded, I adhered the bells to the front of the card. The silver thread was looped and secured with Mini Glue Dots before I wrapped it around the top of card a few times ad tied it off with a knot.

The two baubles had some of the silver trim threaded through the small holes and was then tied to the original trim and tied in a bow.

The greeting, from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Bermuda Bay onto Basic White card. After trimming this piece down I cut a coordinating piece of the Glimmer Paper. Both layers were secured using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut two extra glimmer shapes to use inside the card and the envelope.

With all the glimmer from the rainbow paper I decided not to add any more bling to the card.

I’m happy with my colourful Christmas card – I’m not sure if it could be described as ‘funky’, but it is indeed colourful.

Make sure you hop on over to see what the other Freshly Brewed crew members have made.

Until next time, happy stamping.

CASEing FOR GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #284

Hello and thank you being here. I am so pleased that you are popping by to see what my latest project is.

So, my new Friday posts will be a project from the Global Design Project’s weekly challenges.

This week, the challenge is to CASE a card by Krista Frattin, a talented GDP team member from Canada.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

The tip we are given is that when you CASE a project, you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set – the colors, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own.

I chose to go with the layout and definitely changed colours, stamp set and dies.

It was time to dust off my NOTHING’S BETTER THAN STAMP SET, LOVE YOU MORE THAN DIES and PAINTED LABELS DIES.

I’m not sure if the RAINBOW GLIMMER PAPER will carry over into the new 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE, so I definitely want to use it up and I knew that it would be great for this card. Bright, bold and shimmery!

I decided to use the SUBTLES 6″x 6″ DSP – the new designs that will be in the upcoming 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE. As a demonstrator, I was fortunate enough to order all four colour families and the 2020 -2022 In Colours DSP packs during Sale-a-bration. By using it here on this project, I hope that you will like the pattern well enough to add the new DSP to your collection.

I think that I am going to remove the bow – what do you think? I think it needs to be black or gone.

Happy stamping!
