I really love punches! They are such a quick and easy way to cut out pieces for your card. The Making Christmas Bright Bundle is no exception - comes with the adorable stamp set and the Bulb Builder Punch!

Today's card features a card I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) from Pinterest. Unfortunately there is no watermark on the pictures so I can't give credit to the designer :(. If it's yours' please let me know.

The coloured bulbs are "popped up" using Dimensional and Mini Dimensionals.

For the inside I stamped the strings of garland. I haven't added a sentiment yet.

Everything I used on this card is available in my Online Store. You can check out the list of supplies below.

Today's card features a few new products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue - the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies, Blizzard Thinlits Die, Shimmer Paint and Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper. I had an idea for a card to use up some of the snowflakes I had cut out for a class using the Blizzard Thinlits Die and it gradually grew into this.

I like how it turned out in the end :). Do you ever had cards where the final product is nothing like you planned?

For this card I cut out the "Merry" in Crumb Cake cardstock and then painted it using a dry Aqua Painter with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. I also painted the snowflakes that I cut out from Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper. Check out the shimmer!

I love how this looks!

I adhered a piece of Vellum Cardstock over the Designer Series Paper and lightly painted it with Shimmer Paint. You need to paint it very lightly so as not to saturate the paper. Let it dry and then adhere in a couple of places with Glue Dots. If you adhere it in places where you will put something over top of the Glue Dots, you will not be able to see the adhesive.

Everything I used on this card is available in my Online Store. You can check out the list of supplies below.

I've come to realize that I'm a sucker for traditional Christmas colours so the combination of colours in the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper immediately popped out at me. Today I'm sharing a card that features this Designer Series Paper with the Dashing Deer Stamp Bundle. It makes me feel like sitting in front of a warm fire with a cup of hot chocolate!

It was a quick and easy card to put together!
