All Is Bright Christmas Cards

With less than a week until Christmas, I thought I would share some of the Christmas card designs that I have created over the past few months using products from the retiring 2018 Holiday Catalog. Today I am sharing two cards created using the beautiful All Is Bright Designer Series Paper (item #147892). I just love the photo realistic designs in this paper pack and how easy it is to create clean and simple card designs with this wonderful paper.

With this first card design, I combined the designer series paper with the Merry Christmas To All Bundle (item #149952). The Gold Glimmer Paper really makes the die cut sentiment pop and I love the way the stamped sentiment coordinates to complete the card. The Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin Ribbon (item #147894) creates a beautiful border to all a splash of color to the card design.

My second card design was CASEd from a card I found on Pinterest, created by fellow demonstrator, France Martin aka Frenchie Stamps. I just love the clean and simple design of this card and the way the designer series paper provides the focal point of this card. The strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock has been embossed using the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #147923) to add texture to the card. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tidings stamp set (item #148936 Clear Mount) and I am really going to miss this stamp set. It has been my go to Christmas sentiment stamp set from the 2018 Holiday Catalog.

Now is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite products from the 2018 Holiday Catalog during the Year End Closeout Sale. Many of these beautiful products are retiring and will not be available once this catalog ends January 2nd, 2019 or if they sell out.

Both the Timeless Tidings stamp set and All Is Bright Designer Series Paper are retiring. These products are perfect for traditional Christmas card designs.

The Merry Christmas To All Bundle features both the Merry Christmas To All stamp set and coordinating Merry Christmas Thinlets dies and when purchased as a bundle, you save 10%. This bundle price will no longer be available after January 2nd, 2019 but both the stamp set and die set will be available to order separately.

To take advantage of these wonderful products before they disappear, visit my Online Store here. You can place your order 24/7 and have it shipped directly to you. The Clearance Rack has also been updated and you can save up to 60% on discontinued products while supplies last.

Until Next Time.

Happy Stampin',

GSF Seasonal Fun December Blog Hop

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends December Blog Hop and this month our theme is to create something seasonal, whether it be for a particular season or to celebrate the holiday season. I have chosen to celebrate the holidays with a fun, cheerful Christmas card that will help brighten someone's day. As you hop along you will visit blogs from Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world and see what season the have chosen to celebrate.

For my Christmas card I chose the Making Christmas Bright Bundle (item #149947) and All is Bright Designer Series Paper (item #147892) to create my card design. I just love the bright colorful light bulbs on the designer series paper and it gave me the colors I needed to create my card.

The card base has been created with Real Red cardstock and I stamped the light strings image from the Making Christmas Bright stamp set (item #148046) in Real Red Classic ink for a tone on tone look. I matted the strip of designer series paper with Shaded Spruce cardstock to provide a border that pops against the Real Red card base.

The focal point was created by stamping the circle image with Shaded Spruce Classic ink onto Whisper White cardstock and I die cut it using the Layering Circles Framelits dies as well as the scalloped circle from Shaded Spruce cardstock.

The light bulbs were created by stamping the light images with Real Red Classic ink and punching them out using the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch (item #148013). The tops of the light bulbs were created by punching them out with the punch from Gold Glimmer Paper (item #146958) and attaching them to the top of the lights with a little Snail adhesive. To finish off the design, I created a bow using the Silver and Whisper White Bakers Twine (item #145569) and attached it to the top of the circle with a glue dot.

I just love the way these products coordinate to create a fun, cheerful Christmas card perfect for the Holiday season. The All Is Bright Designers Series Paper is sadly retiring but the stamp set and builder punch will be carrying over to a future catalog. However, the bundle price retires soon, so I recommend that you order these products soon and take advantage of the 10% savings.
