Perfect Sentiments #10 - A Sparkly Christmas -Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

Happy Sunday Everyone,
Today's card is for the Perfect Sentiments Challenge this week to make a Christmas card with plenty of Sparkle. I cased this card from Kay Kalthoff, after it was featured on Paper Punch Addiction, I changed it up a bit.  I used Glossy card and dry embossed it, giving it texture and plenty of subtle sheen. Punched out the ornament shape and backed it with the Red Glimmer Card adding a strip of Silver that has been punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch.  I attached some Silver Cord and some Glittery Ribbon.  The Sentiment is stamped on Glossy Card and matted with the Real Red cardstock.

This card was awarded a Perfect Three at the Perfect Sentiments this week.

Gift for a Friend

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today I have a collection of goodies for you to see that I sent to my Splitcoast Secret Sister Chantell Randell as part of her reveal gift.  I have already posted the card that I made for the Inkspiration Sketch Challenge this week, so refer to the previous post for details. 

The Tucked Away box was designed by Lauren Meader and is available at Papertrey Ink for you to purchase and download. It is a very easy and a quick box to make and has a significant WOW factor with the front flap wrapping around the front.

Key Ingredients:

Stamps: SU Punches Three, Verve - Wonderful Wishes

Card: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss, Urban Oasis DP

Ink: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: Curly Label Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Kiwi Kiss Ribbon, Dimensionals, Computer and Printer

 The Picnic Box is another template by Lauren Meader and available at Papertrey Ink for purchase.

Key Ingredients:

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Brads, Computer & Printer, Piercing Tool

 The last items in the collection are made with the new Sweet Treat Cups featured in the Summer Mini Catalogue that runs from 1st December to 31st March 2010. I have filled them with some crystals and buttons, instead of chocolates or lollies.  The tag pulls out to reveal the goodies inside.  I saw the idea on Deann Olivers blog but she had combined them as a combination of three made with the same pierce of card, were I have made them singular.

Parisian Breeze Collection

Hi Stamping Friends,

Todays post is one of the Collections I have been working on. I just love this Parisian Breeze Designer Series Paper, it gives each design such an elegant feel.

          

I have used the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge # 114 for the card. I love the clean and simple design of the sketch.

The Tucked Away Box is one of Lauren Meader's templates and available from Papertrey Ink. It is a fun, quick and easy box to make.  You can see how I punched the edge of the tag with my Martha Stewart Embossed Scallop Punch and then used the tag punch from SU.
