Today I thought I would play with more of the new releases and incorporate another popsicle on my card so that you could have some more inspiration! Now, let me preface this post with--the shimmer on this card did not photograph. I used the gorgeous and shimmery Memory Box Soiree papers along with some other shimmery elements. In person, it really sparkles. And if you don't have any of the Soiree papers, you may want to check them out. They are just beautiful for holiday cards!
Okay, now onto my creation! :) First, I stamped the circle stamp from the new Night Before Clear Stamp set {CL141} onto white cardstock using silver metallic ink. After stamping the circles, I punched them out and inked the edges with the same ink. I also tied three tiny bows out of some gold ribbon I had on hand.
Next, I used a border punch to punch a decorative border out of silver Soiree cardstock. I also used some Shimmerz Spritz to change the color of the popsicle stick and give it a little shimmer.
Next, I started placing my "ornaments" and ribbons on the Memory Box 24kt Soiree notecard.
And to finish, I added a sentiment on top of the "mantle" along with some Memory Box Christmas jewels.
Papers: Bazzill white CS, Memory Box Soiree 24kt notecard; Memory Box Soiree silver CS
Stamps: Memory Box Night Before CL141
Stamp Ink: Encore silver metallic
Embellishments: Martha Stewart Arch Lattice border punch, Shimmerz Spritz concrete, Hobby Lobby ribbon, Making Memories Fa La La tiny alpha stickers, Memory Box Christmas jewels, misc. popsicle stick
I hope you enjoyed this and that you are working on your Memory Box contest entries! I can't wait to see more of your creations! Have a great Friday!
That is such a cute card. I don't see how you keep coming up with designs to out do what you've done before. It definitely is a God given talent. Thanks for all you do.
