Merry...

Just real quick-like... this is my card for Jingle Belles, whose current challenge is to "bling on the holidays."


Supplies and notes:

  • I love the idea of Jingle Belles... making cards through the year.  I even designated a bin for most of my xmas stuff :)  Soooo I wanted to keep it going.  I made this card rather quickly, and the pictures don't do her justice, but it's actually very simple and very pretty in real life!  Happy to participate!
  • I used awesome snowflake stamps that I bought for the girls a couple holiday seasons ago at Target. I inked them with Tim's Distress Embossing Ink then embossed them using Stampendous Frantage in Shabby Blue
  • The "Merry" was made with Thickers... though every time I use Thickers I feel guilty-- I am WAYYY behind on my scrapbooks!
  • I added generic bling to the center of each flake
Hope you likey!

  1. Ohhhh this is beautiful! Love the blue/white/silver combo and those snowflakes are fantabulous! I bet this sparkles and blings gorgeously! I should get started on some Christmas cards now (not my strong suit art wise) so thanks for the inspo! Hugz ~Niki

    PS-I completely agree with what you wrote on my blog about the first bottle. It just wasn't me. :)

  5. Simple yet detailed, love the glitter and 3d effect, but the card is still one perfect for postage. A clean card but with plenty going on, perfectly balanced.
