Hooray!

A couple more NEW Sale-a-Bration items!

I used a little bit of a lot of ideas posted on Pinterest to come up with this card.  Also created at Stamp Club on Tuesday.

One important note - the reverse part is NOT supposed to be solid.  There is some watercolor-y type texture for the background.  The little splotches are from the Swirly Bird stamp set.

Now I need to play with the other glimmer paper colors!  Here are some more ideas from Stampin' Up!

Joy to the World!

As soon as I saw the ribbon and sequins, I KNEW I wanted to create a Christmas card with these alternate colors!

I watched a live video by Sara Douglass, Stampin' Up! CEO, showcasing her daughter's birthday card.  She heat embossed gold on Gold Foil.  It was amazing!  Then I thought - what if I used an embossing folder with Silver Foil.  And WOW!  I love it!

A little tip with the sequins - use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to place dots of glue.  Then add the sequins on top of the glue.  Set aside to dry.

Supply list below:

What other alternate colors do you like to use for Christmas cards instead of the traditional red and green?  Leave some comments and let's have some fun!  I'll work to create some fun new Christmas cards with your color combination suggestions.
