Sparkly Crhistmas Tree Card

Here's a Christmas card that I thought I had already shared on my blog, but don't see it. 

This is almost exactly like the one that Carol Lovenstein created for her husband. 

Here are the changes I made to her great design;
1. I didn't sponge green ink onto silver glimmer paper. Instead I used Wild Wasabi Designer Series Paper circles and I like the contrast with the red and silver glimmer papers.
2. I used Shimmery White card stock behind the tree. You can see the sparkle in this photo, but in person it is more subtle and I don't know that I would use the Shimmery White on this card if I were mass producing it.
3. I used a coordinating Wild Wasabi Designer Series Paper for the tree stand instead of Early Espresso, or whatever darker card stock was used in the original.

Other than that it is a copy of a winning card.

Have a blessed day!

TBT Sale-A-Bration Gift Card Holder

Here's a card for Throw back Thursday. I made it in March for Sale-A-Bration and then never posted it on the blog.
I used the sun-ray technique. You make a template by cutting sections out of a piece of card stock to use as a mask. Then you put it on your card front and sponge color in the cut out sections.

This is a gift card holder made with the envelope punch board. It is quick and easy to make this gift card holder. You can view a You Tube video on how to make it HERE.

This Stampin' Up! set is no longer available, but a good substitute would be the Ray of Sunshine set.
I used the top of the cupcake builder punch to create the clouds and I used washi tape to create the lower card pocket.
