One more glitter card because I just could not stop! I love this background die from My Favorite Things, and it’s so fun using glitter paper with that die.
That word die “Christmas” is embossed with glitter powder on the bottom and watercolored with distress inks on the top.
This card was easy and a whole lot of fun to put together!
I love glitter paper. Yep. I have a whole drawer just dedicated to glitter paper. So when the Holiday Card Class had a day devoted to shimmer and shine, I brought out the glitter!
See that red glitter ampersand? It’s my favorite.
I played around with some distress markers for the merry word and bright word. It’s fun to try and blend two different colors. I added some glossy accents for shine. A few sequins and done!
So. Fun. And merry. (and bright). 🙂
Well Hello! I’m back with some Christmas cards to share. After a big move, my daughter and her family (including 2 granddaughters) moving in with us, my mother-in-law having a stroke, and my grandmother passing away, I am FINALLY back to posting on my blog. Whew.
A big thank you to Online Holiday Card Class 2015 for inspiring me to get back at it!
My first card is clean and simple:
It’s hard to see in this picture, but there a little glittery snow in the background. I love this die edge and it’s the first time I’ve used it!
I was inspired by Julie Ebersole for the snow. I used a glue pad and some Stickles dry glitter over the top. I’m loving this class and so glad I could participate!
This adorable deer can be found in the “Happy Camper” stamp set by Paper Smooches and I just love him. So I wanted to use him on a Christmas card. I stamped him on kraft paper and then colored him using colored pencils.
You can see a bit of shine on their noses and their spots (thanks to some glossy accents). That sweater background is made using Distress Inks and Tim Holtz’ stencil. It’s a bit hard to tell in the picture, but they are standing on a snowy hill of Distress glitter.
I just love that Paper Smooches handwriting for the sentiment, too!

One of my favorite card designers, Emily Leiphart, is having a “Squirrel Fest” over at her site and of course I had to play along! The rules are to make a card with a squirrel on it. I did a sort of winter/Christmas theme for this card:
This squirrel is extra happy because he has an acorn in his stocking! I did a watercolored winter background. Then made a “snowy” embossed glitter hill for him to sit on. The acorns are sugared up with Distress glitter, and the stocking has some stickles to make it extra sparkly. Doesn’t that squirrel just look so happy!
I wish we could all be so happy this Christmas season!
