JAI #280 Just Add Glimmer

Welcome to a lovely Friday in Melbourne! We have a fabulous new challenge at Just Add Ink to inspire your weekend crafting! This week Nikki has suggested we "Just Add Glimmer". Such a fabulous challenge - I just love bling - don't you too?! The Team have made absolutely stunning creations to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment and pop over and have a look :-)

I was inspired to make this special Christmas card. Mostly, my Christmas cards are kept relatively CAS with a little bling - as is easier to replicate and post. But every year I make a few extra special ones and hand made Ornaments for my siblings and their families. (There are 4 of us).  It started a few years back and has quickly become a fun tradition as we all get a little surprise each year to add to the Christmas tree on top of the usual gifts for children etc. So there will be a separate ornament to go with this card too.

It's hard to see but there is some gold snowflake Vellum in the background and there is a base. I combined two Tutorials into one from Splicoaststampers: the Tent card and Suspension card  and adapted the measurements for this 13cm square one and despite all the dimension it can still lie flat for posting.  I used 6 die cuts and some Metallic Gold Thread to do the suspending and suggest using a STRONG adhesive to hold it in place.

Card stock: Real Red, Whisper White (Thick), Gold Glimmer 

Designer Series Paper: Winter Wonderland Vellum Stack

Ink: Real Red

Stamp: Embellished Ornaments

Accessories: Big Shot, Delicate Ornaments Thinlits, Christmas Greetings Thinlits, Circle Framelits, Gently Falling EF, Home for Christmas Enamel Dots, Metallic Gold Thread, Sticky Strip (Retired), Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment to pop on over to Just Add Ink and see the wonderful creations the Team have made to inspire you and I look forward to seeing what you create with Glimmer this week too!

Happy stamping until next time,

Jan
