Silver Bells…

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great December and are enjoying all of the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season.  My husband and I have been out of the country from December 1-12 so when we returned, I literally had to hit the ground running.  I’m finally getting over the jet lag that I didn’t have time for! lol   I’ve been enjoying listening to a LOT of Christmas music as I work on Christmas gifts and address all of the cards that I should have already had out in the mail.  Ah well, they went out today so there is still hope!

I made quite a few of this particular card as it was quick to mass produce and looks like I spent more time on it than I really did.   I heat embossed the Holiday Bells stamp from I Brake for Stamps with silver embossing powder.  I love the ribbon in the stamp and the classy-looking bells!

It measures a standard A2 size (4.25 x 5.5″) and I’ve dry embossed the card front using a Sizzix embossing folder from Stampin’ Up! (can’t recall the name).  To that I’ve added a silver glitter mat measuring 4.0″ x 5.25″ just to make it ‘pop.’  The hop layer measures 3.75″ x 5″.  The blue cardstock is Not Quite Navy by SU!.  The sentiment is an SU! stamp.  I decided to round 2 of the corners on all of the layers to soften it a bit, and finished the card off with some half-backed pearls.

I think this bell stamp would be a nice one for a wedding card as well…and can you totally see that ribbon paper pieced with pretty, feminine paper?  Love it…definitely going to try that when I have time!  You can see this and thousands of other stamps on the IBFS website (and get a 10% off discount too by using my personal discount: SAVE10ROBYN).

Enjoy the busyness!  It’s a magical time of year! xx
