This week the Freshly Brewed Project team want to share a project for Christmas that is funky and using bright colours.
When I saw the theme for this week’s blog hop I knew that I wanted to use the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and the Gingerbread Dies.
The Rainbow Glimmer Paper was used to cut the background layers for bells and baubles. Then, after adding Adhesive Sheets to the back of some coordinating cardstock, I cut the more intricate layers and secured them to the glimmer paper shapes.
When the five shapes were completed I punched holes in the tops so that I could thread the silver Simply Elegant Trim through the three bells. Once threaded, I adhered the bells to the front of the card. The silver thread was looped and secured with Mini Glue Dots before I wrapped it around the top of card a few times ad tied it off with a knot.
The two baubles had some of the silver trim threaded through the small holes and was then tied to the original trim and tied in a bow.
The greeting, from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Bermuda Bay onto Basic White card. After trimming this piece down I cut a coordinating piece of the Glimmer Paper. Both layers were secured using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut two extra glimmer shapes to use inside the card and the envelope.
With all the glimmer from the rainbow paper I decided not to add any more bling to the card.
I’m happy with my colourful Christmas card – I’m not sure if it could be described as ‘funky’, but it is indeed colourful.
Make sure you hop on over to see what the other Freshly Brewed crew members have made.
Until next time, happy stamping.
