Sleigh bell Christmas - C4G #265

 Hi!  Time is flying by, and it is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  This is our last challenge for 2025!  

Our theme is "Christmas sparkle" and here's my card... 

I am not a fan of glitter, but I do like shimmer and shine.  My jingle bell is SSS Sleigh Bell.  The bow is Poppystamps Little Bow and String.  My paper is DCWV the Christmas Glitter Matstack.  (This is very old paper, but I love it because it is sparkly but DOES NOT shed any glitter!!!  Whoo-hoo!!)  My BG is navy cardstock that I dry embossed with Sizzix 3D Snowflakes after swiping Cloud 9 Lisa Horton Opaque White ink on the flat side.  My "merry" sentiment is Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut and "Christmas" is from a freebie I received years ago.  The tiny stars are from MS Diamond Star border punch.    

Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Sparkle and shine
Word Art Wednesday #728-729 - AG that's family friendly
Die Cut Divas December - Christmas/winter

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Embossed Christmas - SCC #179

HAPPY DECEMBER 1st!!  It's only 24 days until CHRISTMAS!!!  

And it's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  :)  Our theme is "poinsettia" for this challenge.  

Here's my poinsettia card...

This was a fun card to make!  I used 3 techniques on my green panel. I dry embossed it with Darice Basket Weave.  Then I inked up the flat/debossed side of Spellbinders Poinsettia 3D EF with white ink and 3D embossed the panel.  The original embossing flattens a little, but it is still visible and gives some texture.  And the inking really makes the poinsettias pop!  I added a bit of gold ink to the center of the flowers.  My sentiment is Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut.  

I think this is my favorite card I've made all year!!  It is very similar to a card I made while participating in Justine Hovey's 12 Days of Christmas Cards this year.  Click HERE to see that post.  It's card #3 on day 4.  

We'd love to have you come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!
