It’s Wednesday, and the super talented and very lovely, Jennifer Timko has a great sketch for us over at Freshly Made Sketches:
This is such a nice, simple sketch. You can really use your creativity or you can keep it nice and simple and strictly follow the sketch.
I decided to use a non-Christmas themed stamp set on a Christmas card for my sample. I pulled out my Simply Stars set and stamped three of the stars. We have a star on the top of our tree, so I think of stars as having a Christmas theme. What about you? Do you have a star or an angel on the top of your tree? Or something else?
I added some sequins (I know — I’m addicted) and trimmed some Silver Foil paper with a fun blade on my Stampin’ Trimmer. This was really a pretty easy card to make.
I hope you’ll join us at Freshly Made Sketches this week and make your own card to share in the gallery. You should go check out what the rest of the design team made while you’re at it.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Simply Stars, Endless Wishes
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White, Silver Foil Sheets, Winter Frost Specialty DSP
Embellishments: Silver 1/8″ Ribbon, Tiny Waves Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade, button (retired), sequins (non-SU)
I like the gray & red combo- different & fun. I understand your healthy addiction to sequins- I’m hooked on STARS!!
This is so amazing Amy! I love the pop of silver and those stars are perfect!
I just love this…..and I still haven’t broken open these stars yet (sigh)…..but I might have to CASE this to do so!
WOW,Amy!! Amazing!! I love the stars and the silver foil!! Beautiful!
We don’t have a star,neither an angel…we have one of those pointy ornaments.One of these days,i would love a star as well…but for some reason they are a little hard to find here,or maybe i am just looking at the wrong places! 😉
Sparkly, silvery and fun! Love this! The red stars are fabulous!
Such a striking card Amy – and I’m especially loving those sequins!
So completely wonderful! Love that paper!
This is so amazing I almost fell off my chair when I saw it! The stars and that fab DSP are a match made in heaven!
Fabulous card Cindy! I love that those amazing red stars and the silver foil and the sequins! Perfect Christmas Card!
This is gorgeous, Amy! Our tree doesn’t have any set topper. One year we had a monkey dressed up as Santa (it’s a puppet so it has a hole in a strategic spot for sticking a tree branch in). I’ve had angels, a big red ribbon… just haven’t found that perfect tree topper yet.
So pretty Amy! I love the red stars and the sequins – very festive!
Wonderful red stars – love the gray card base!
I love your card! The stars are fab, I love stars and the bow is so amazing, I am jealous, my bows never ever look like that! Cx
This is a jaw-dropping card for me, Amy! Absolutely stunning, and so much detail, yet so clean and fresh. Gorgeous!
A beautiful combination of both colours and style.
