Glitzy Christmas Cards

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone had a great week. I can't believe we are another week closer to Christmas and I still have yet to shop! I'm hoping to get something done this weekend, fingers crossed my plan will work out. Hope you have some fun things planned too.

Today I have two cards to share with you. One for the new challenge at Stamp Something and the other for the new challenge at Just Magnolia. I've made two Christmas cards to add to my ever growing collection. At least I'll be ready to send out cards soon, even if my shopping isn't done!

Stamp Something

First, I'll share my card for Stamp Something. Our challenge this week is "Glitzy Somethings." We want to see lots and lots of sparkle, shimmer, and shine! This is the perfect time of year to bling up those creations too! Our sponsor this week is Paper Maniac and there is a fab prize up for grabs!

I've used this sweet Holly the Christmas Fairy image from Mo's Digital Pencil. She's been colored with Copics and then I added lots of glitter accents with a Spica glitter pen. I've used some My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter papers that have glitter already on them with some red and ivory Stampin' Up! card stock. I've embellished with rhinestone brads, satin ribbon, flowers, vellum snowflakes, roses and glimmer mist.

This card also fits the challenges at:
Mo's Digital Pencil - Christmas Card using traditional colors
Cute Card Thursday - Swirly Girly
Digital Tuesday - Christmas Sparkle
The Pink Elephant - Favorite Coloring Medium
Pile It On! - Flowers and Fourishes

Just Magnolia

My next card is another holiday card with more glitz and bling and this sweet Tilda image. Our challenge at Just Magnolia this week is to make a card/project for a special person, this week is also our special monthly challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. I won't say who my card is for as I don't want to spoil the surprise!

I've created an easel card for this project. I am loving these card styles, not only are they super easy to make, but they really create a nice way to display a card. I've colored my image with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen. The papers are SU! from a retired pack of designer prints. I've distressed all the edges. The white layers have been embossed with a snowflake folder and CB then I sprayed them with glimmer mist. I am loving this stuff!

I've embellished with felt snowflakes and some acetate and glitter snowflakes that I made with a punch and some glitter. I also added some doodles and sticky pearls, ribbon, and a snowflake charm!

This card also fits the challenges at:
Simon Says Stamp - So Charming
Magnolia Down Under - Christmas Card
