After a couple of weeks for Halloween we are back to Mistletoe Monday just in time to make your cards for this season. This month we will feature cards that have a lot of Glitz and Glamour.
Just look at the Glitzy Santa Robbie gives us -
Glitz
is right up my alley. All Supplies are
Stampin’ Up. What better way to add some
sparkle than using some of our beautiful Silver Glimmer Paper. I decided that Santa is magical and has a
sparkle about him so I used the Detailed Santa Thinlits Die to cut out my Santa
frame. I back it with a piece of Real
Red card stock cut to the same size as the frame. I took a piece of Whisper White card stock
that measured 5 ½” x 8 ½”. I scored it
at 4 ¼” on the long side to form my card base.
I attached my Santa frame to the top portion of the card base. I then used the sentiment from the Greetings
from Santa stamp set using Real Red ink.
To finish off my card I added some silver sequins to add a little more
sparkle. The perfect amount of Glitter
for this time of year! - Robbie
Kimberly shows us how a little variation such as different colors can give a new look to the same card-
I had so much fun with this card design, I made two
cards: Silver & Gold. The stencil is from Catherine Pooler's Young
at Heart SOA. I applied Distress Inks in
Broken China and Candied Apple to two separate card panels. The ornament stamp is from the Candy Cane
Lane SOA. I stamped it repeatedly on
each panel with Versamark Ink and embossed with Silver and gold embossing
powder as shown. I die cut two circles
out of white card stock, stamped the sentiment with Versamark and matched the
embossing powder with the backgrounds. The circle die is by Sizzix. Both cards are size A2. - Kimberly
This is going to be a fun challenge, so Glitz those cards up -

Nice cards, ladies. Robbie, that has to be one of my all time favorite dies from Stampin' Up, but I haven't used it yet. Thanks for the inspiration. Kimberly, thanks so much for showing what a difference color can make!
