Stampin’ Up! Lights Aglow Holiday Card

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has enjoyed a great week! It’s finally Fall here on the East Coast of the US. We enjoyed some rather warm temperatures earlier in the week – definitely not Fall like for November! But the weather has cooled off and it is officially feeling like Fall. Can you believe Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away…I don’t know where the time goes!

What is prettier than beautiful designer series paper? Why that would be designer series paper with gold sparkle! For today’s card I used the Lights Aglow 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper and a book fold to show of this gorgeous paper! Sentiments for the card are from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set.

I started off by matting the black and gold star pattern paper from the Lights Aglow pack to Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then adhered the units to the front of a Very Vanilla card base…perfect colors together!

Before adhering the “binding” portion of the book fold card base together, I added a length of Gold Shimmer Ribbon to this section and secured the ends using Stampin’ Seal on the inside of the card. The narrow “binding” section of the card was then adhered together using glue.

Next, I chose a Cherry Cobbler and gold piece of paper from the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper with round and square patterns. I used the largest square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out a square from this paper.

The die cut square becomes the mat for the sentiment label which was cut from Very Vanilla cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set. I stamped the “All is Merry & Bright” sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the sentiment label. The sentiment label was matted to the die cut Cherry Cobbler square and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the inside greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink and matted the panel in Cherry Cobbler then adhered this unit to the inside of the card.

A piece of the black and gold Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed around the flap to finish off the envelope. A Gold Shimmer Ribbon bow was added to the card front and the card is complete!

This beautiful paper does all of the work and provides lots of sparkle!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Merry Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and that means it is time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a theme challenge for the Hop today. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created!

I pulled out the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, Christmas Banners Stamp Set and my pack of Sweetest Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create today’s card.

The theme challenge for today is “Christmas”.

Nothing says Christmas like red and green and lots of pine boughs! I started off with a card base in Real Red and topped that with a piece of paper from the Sweetest Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper in a Garden Green dotted pattern.

The pine bough stamp from the Christmas Banners Stamp Set was used to repeatedly stamp on a 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ white panel. I stamped all around the perimeter of the panel. Some of the pine boughs were second-generation stamped to create different shades of green. The panel looks a bit messy at this point, but the center will be covered by the sentiment label!

The stamped panel was matted to a piece of Real Red cardstock and then adhered to the center of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment onto the sentiment label then matted the sentiment label to a piece of Real Red cardstock and adhered this to the center of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

An additional sentiment was stamped on the inside panel, and I also stamped the pine bough image on this panel as well.

The pine bough image was added to the envelope front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap and I trimmed around the flap to finish off the envelope.

Because every card should have a little sparkle, I added a white glittered organdy bow to the card front and a few red rhinestones! I love the traditional red and green on this card!

I hope you enjoyed my card for today! If you’d like to recreate this card, click on the image below for a pdf tutorial.

On with the hop! If you click on the “Next” button below, you’ll be taken to the top of the Blog list and Amy Koenders blog. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out all of the blogs in the Hop today and all of the wonderful creativeness! Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Z Fold Christmas Card

There is something about the color combination on this card that says elegance! The richness of the beautiful Cherry Cobbler Lights Aglow 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper with the gold snowflake and Very Vanilla accents are beautiful together! The Z Fold provides a great way to showcase the beautiful designer series paper, too!

This card consists of two card bases in Cherry Cobbler with panels in Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla. Satin Edged Ribbon was adhered to the card front in a “Z” shape and a die cut snowflake from Gold Foil was die cut from the Twinkling Light Dies and added to the card front. A sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set was stamped onto a piece of Very Vanilla, matted to a piece of the Cherry Cobbler DSP and adhered over the snowflake.

An additional sentiment was stamped onto one of the inside panels and the middle panel provides a place to write a personal sentiment. The envelope was adorned with a coordinating piece of designer series paper.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO PAPER PUMPKIN:

  1. You can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin on a month-to-month basis, a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription so subscriptions are flexible
  2. Pause and resume your subscription at any time – you have control over your subscription (just be sure to take action before the 10th of the month if you don’t want the upcoming months’ kit!)
  3. Kit contents are different each month and may include cards or a project so there is lots of variety
  4. Kits arrive around the 20th of each month
  5. The kit includes everything you will need to complete your kit
  6. Instructions are included to complete kits, or you can change things up and add additional elements, rearrange kit components, etc. You have control over how you complete the kit.
  7. Kit materials contain quality products
  8. Kits can be shared with friends, or get the kids involved
  9. Once you complete your kit you will have left over materials that can be used on future projects, such as adhesives, stamps, ink spot, etc. Don’t throw away excess card punch outs…use them on a future project!
  10. Paper Pumpkin kits can be gifted, just purchase a prepaid code at stampinup.com and give it to someone awesome!
