Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, friends!  On behalf of all of us at Great Impressions, we hope your day is amazing and filled with lots of fun, joy, and love!  I'm here to share a card I made using some beautiful products from Great Impressions. Take a peek...

More details and a Christmas slideshow on my personal blog HERE.

I started this card by stamping G22 Pine Cone Bough twice onto some white card stock.  I stamped them opposite ways to create a semi frame.  I then decided to do just some selective coloring and color the berries with a red glitter pen.  It looked elegant and so I stopped there! ;)

I then stamped E250 Warmth & Love onto another piece of white card stock and cut it to fit onto a red scalloped card stock mat.  Some black liquid pearls added a bit of shine and elegance and I used dimensional foam to add this portion to the card.

That was it!  A super quick and easy card, but I think it turned out very elegantly and can be mailed easily.  It actually already was! ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  Hop over to come play along with our monthly challenge, too!  If you use stamps from Great Impressions, you'll be able to link up your creation in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and MERRY Christmas, and MERRY stamping to you all!  See you again soon!

Wintry Penguin

Hey, everyone!  Happy Thursday!  It's time for me to share another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store again.  Today I've got a fun and easily mail-able card with a holiday theme.  Take a gander...

More details on my personal blog HERE.

I decided to keep this card CAS and flat so it would be ideal for mailing.  So, all of the stamps are on the same panel!  I've used some newer images paired with an older sentiment.  I started by stamping the snowbanks, G511 Snow Drifts, in a very light blue ink.  I added some glitter to it for some shine.

I then stamped the little penguin, F592 Dancing Penguin, and colored in what needed to be colored with glitter gel pens.  I added some glitter to the little snowflakes above his head, too.  More shine!

Lastly, I stamped an older sentiment, E250 Warmth & Love, in red and highlighted it with red gel pen.

I think the final product turned out better than I though it would!  A mail-able, holiday card, that has lots of shine and holiday spirit thrown into it.  Thoughts?
