I used Stampin’ Up!’s single stamp, Christmas Bauble for my card since I used it on my fun project this past week! I really wanted the ornament to look “shiny”, so I used Cherry Cobbler and Calypso Coral Blendabilities to shade it. The Gold Glimmer paper and Gold 1/8″ Ribbon really make it sparkle!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 Cherry Cobbler cardstock folded in half to make the base.
Along the right side is a 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Trim the Tree Designer Paper Stack.
I added a 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Gold Glimmer Paper to hide the seam.
I cut a 3 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White and adhered it towards the bottom left side.
Holiday Cheer from Cheerful Tags was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
The ornament was stamped with Tuxedo Black on scrap Whisper White, then colored with Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Blendabilities. I added some White Gel Pen highlights.
I punched a 1/8″ hole in the ornament handle and threaded the 1/8″ Gold Ribbon thru the hole to the back of the ornament and adhered to the back of the Whisper White.
The ornament was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, I added some banner strips on the right side of the ornament from Trim the Tree DSP and Gold Glimmer Paper.

I love how it turned out!

OK…so now continue on around the Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Collection 2014 Design Team blogs to see their cards and what sets they used! Next up is Natasha Zandbergen!

OK…I’ll get to my card in a minute, but first have to show off my newest grand-daughter, Quinn! She was born on October 9th and weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz, 21-1/2″ long! Since her mom had an unexpected c-section, I’ve been fortunate enough to be spending my days helping out over at their house and getting LOTS of snuggle time. Of course, Quinn has her days and nights mixed up so we are working on that! This was taken right before she came home on Sunday.

I had a Christmas Bauble image sitting on my desk that I didn’t use on another project, so I decided to use it on a card.

Here are the details…

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Rich Razzleberry cardstock, folded in half.
The 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White layer is embossed with the Lucky Stars folder.
The Color Me Autumn Designer Paper was cut with the Apothecary Accent framelit. A hole was punched in the top point for the ribbon to go thru.
The Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Ribbon was wrapped thru the hole and adhered to the back.
Christmas Bauble image was stamped with Memento Black Ink (center stamped twice) and colored with the Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake Blendabilities Markers. Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler was also used for the holly leaves and berries.
The ornament was cut out, and the 1″ circle center punched on the second image. The center was layered with the 1-1/4 Champagne Glimmer Paper Circle and added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals. In the very center, the star was punched from Champagne Glimmer Paper and adhered. The ornament was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped Merry from Cheerful Tags with Rich Razzleberry Ink on a strip of Whisper White, cut a flag end and added it under the Christmas Bauble.
Finally, I added a Gold Designer Button tied with Linen Thread.

Well, little Quinn is stirring from her nap. Need to get going! Have a great day!
