Howdy, friends! Welcome to the nest. I’m glad you’ve stopped by today. This week, we’re designing around the great outdoors. And today is one of the cards where you have an idea but you have to pivot. I had this grand idea using one of the new holiday sets that will launch in September but then didn’t have quite enough time or brain power to pull it all together. But I had enough pieces to make a variation of yesterday’s layout with a little holiday magic from the Season of Celebration ephemera pack.
So we get started with a base of white cardstock and then use a sheet of the gorgeous Shimmering Stripes glitter paper as the backdrop. I pulled the gorgeous Christmas plaid paper from the new All Wrapped Up paper pack. HINT: if you decide to use the new foiled paper, it’s much thicker paper and the foil bit do not tear easily since they’re more stretchy than fibrous, but I used the paper snips here and there to help keep the tearing going. I adhered my two sparkly panels together with tear and tape for added adhesiveness. The panel is then wrapped in silver-edged sheer ribbon before adhering it to the card front with dimensionals. Our focal section uses a couple of images from the Season of Celebration ephemera pack and then a couple of stamped evergreen branches using the new Noel Tidings stamp & die bundle. It’s adhered to our card front with several layers of dimensionals so it stands nice and proud above our ribbon. We finish things off with a few of the new sparkle sequins.
We’re continuing our trek in the great outdoors tomorrow. Who knows — maybe I can get that card in my head out on paper! You’ll have to drop by to see. *wink*
