Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome to another Stamping Symphony Blog Hop! This month we're sharing projects using Holiday Catalogue goodness. If you still need a copy, let me know... or check it out online here.

I'm sharing a Christmas card project using lots of wonderful products, including some scripted word dies. These have been sooooo popular and are currently on back order. But don't worry, you can still order them and they'd ship out before the end of November. ;)

I started with a Gray Granite card base (5-1/2" x 4-1/4") and Cherry Cobbler layer (5-1/4" x 4") and then I did some stamping in Cherry Cobbler on a DSP layer (5-1/8" x 3-7/8") using the swirly image from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set.

I layered all my pieces of ribbon & trim together and then popped my die cut & embossed circle over top. After stamping "merry" on a piece of Whisper White (3/4" wide) I flagged the ends with my Snips and adhered to my circle with my die cut "Christmas". Check out the video below on a trick for that!

Of course you never should forget the inside of the card either... I kept it pretty simple, but brought in a strip of the DSP again and stamped in Cherry Cobbler & Gray Granite inks.

Did you notice that gold shimmer along the edges of the card base & layers of the card? That's the Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint... it's been described as Wink of Stella on steroids. It's AMAZING and you're going to want to have some in your crafty stash. We carry it in four colours. Again, check out the video for some tips & tricks on how I applied it.

Here's a video walk-through of how I created the card. This was one of my #FastAndFabulous videos from a few weeks ago on my Facebook Page. Check it out!

I hope you enjoyed this project, I really love the rustic/country look of this card and I hope you do too! Don't forget to hop along and get some more inspiration!
