#GDP367: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Merry Christmas! Now that Halloween is over, Christmas is everywhere, and I can't say that I'm upset about it. I love Christmas! This week's theme challenge at Global Design Project was perfect for another Christmas card.

 

I went with a non-traditional color scheme of black, white, and pink. While traditional Christmas colors are good, sometimes I like non-traditional colors even better! 

 

My trees come from the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper. This paper has so many fun patterns, and several black and white designs that you can add color to if you'd like! I used my Dark Polished Pink Stampin' Blends Marker to add some pink to a few of the trees.

 

A few other details to love about this card:

• the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set
• a little stitched detail from the Stitched With Whimsy Dies
• Black & White gingham ribbon
• some sparkle from White Glimmer Paper
• a Wonderful Snowflake peeking out from behind the sentiment
• Polished Pink Opal Rounds to match the rest of the pink on the card

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

#TGIFC383: A Card Without White Cardstock

This week's TGIF Challenges theme is a real challenge: make a card without white cardstock. What would YOU do without white cardstock? Well, if you're me, add white in as many other places as possible, haha!

 

 

My sentiment is from the Ringed With Nature stamp set, and that pretty paper is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack. This is a 12" x 12" paper pack that you can get for free with Stampin' Rewards - it's a host exclusive product. And it's a HUGE pack of paper! You get 48 sheets - wow! You don't have to host a party to get this paper though. You can also place an order for yourself of more than $150 and you'll earn rewards which you can use to get the paper for free. 

 

Here is a full list of the products I used:

Stamps: Ringed With Nature

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Basic Black, Celebrate Everything DSP

Embellishments: Wonderful Snowflakes, Iridescent Rhinestones, White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon

Tools: White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Layering Circles Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Happy Stamping!
