The star of this card is all that beautiful designer series paper! It all comes from the Warmth & Cheer DSP Stack. This is my favorite paper in the holiday catalog, and that's saying something, because I love all the paper this year.
The card base and frame for the sentiment panel are Basic Black, and the strip of star paper is framed in Delightful Dijon cardstock.
I heat embossed the sentiment (from the Merriest Wishes stamp set) in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Isn't that sentiment just wonderful? A really lovely sentiment for many more occasions than just Christmas. And lookit that font. I just love this stamp!
I made the bells using the Seasonal Bells bundle. The stamps and punch come separately, or you can bundle them together for 10% off! I stamped the bells in Delightful Dijon and punched them out with the matching punch, then glued them together. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the bells to give them some twinkle. And I finally got Wink of Stella to show up in a photo!
I tied two Mini Jingle Bells together using a length of linen thread -- the thread has two strands, so I pulled it apart and used only one strand. It goes through the jingle bells much more easily that way. I glue dotted the jingle bells to the bells.
I wrapped Silver Metallic Thread around two fingers and attached the loops to the back of the bells with Dimensionals, then stuck the bells to the card.
Finally, I added three Garden Green enamel shapes from the Regals Enamel Shapes.
I added a panel of Whisper White cardstock and a strip of the DSP to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment (from Peaceful Pines) in Garden Green.
I really love how this card came out! I hope you love it, too.
