Sparkling Season

Hi Crafty Friends and Happy Saturday!  I have a quick share for you today, but before we get to my holiday card, I want to announce a New Challenge that will be starting on the 20th of January 2026.  It's The Pick 3 Challenge. Please check it out, be sure to follow, spread the word and get ready to play along!

My card today is another fairly CAS design, using the Sparkling Season Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs.  This set was a Simon Says Stamp Stamptember offer a few years ago and it's a timeless holiday set.


I started with heat embossing the images and sentiment on Stampin' Up Blackberry Bliss card using Ranger Fine Detail gold embossing powder.  I've back the focal panel with gold mirror card and adhered to a Blackberry Bliss card base.


I use this set every year for at least 1 Christmas Card, I love the nostalgic feel of the baubles, the sentiment font and the elegant gold and blackberry together.  

That's all for today, so until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Four Seasons Challenge - Winter

Hello Friends and Happy December!  It's hard to believe we are approaching 2023, I hope you have a good start on your holiday baking, crafting and decorating.  Me?  I'm getting there, the Tree is up and the lights have been hung.

Today begins the 1st Winter themed challenge at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog.  The inspiration photo this round is so pretty and I went CAS this time, which is something I find very difficult to pull off.

 


I was inspired by the snow, so fluffy and white and I was excited to use my new set from the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember festivities, it's the Gina K. Designs Sparkling Season Stamp Set.


I've stamped and heat embossed the baubles and sentiment using fine detail gold embossing powder.  My focal panel measures 3.75" x 5" and you can see how large the image is.  


I've backed the panel with gold mirror card and I just couldn't resist not adding bells and whistles so yes, you guessed it, there have been gold gems from Kat Scrappiness added. 

Please join us at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog.  We hope to inspire you with our makes and look forward to seeing your Winter themed projects.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
