Sparkle & Shine...oh la, la! 
  
I adore Sparkle & Shine & love to incorporate it into whatever project I'm working on.

Today, my "sparkly" card, comes from our Cedar & Pine Cardmaking Kit stamp set. 

This EXCLUSIVE stamp set, can only be purchased as part of this Cardmaking Kit.  

Here's a look at this stamp. 

To add some extra Sparkle, I pulled out our NEW Embossing Pens & our Gold Tinsel Embossing powder. If you look at the stamp set above, you'll notice I added some extra lines to the star design. 

I'm excited to think of the many ways to use these FABULOUS embossing pens!!!

To color in the stable & manger, I used our Tri-Blend alcohol markers. The picture doesn't show it well, but I also used the Gold Shimmer Brush on top of the "hay".  Love that gold shimmer in person!! 

Here's a look at the supplies I used to create this simple card. 
G1192 Cedar & Pine Cardmaking Kit
Z1985 Gold Shimmer Trim
z4194  White & Gold Skinny ribbon
Z3316 Gold Shimmer Brush
Z4249 Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder

Close To My Heart has done it again!!
  
Our TWO,  NEW Idea Books are FILLED with BEAUTIFUL papers, embellishments & products!! It was hard to choose what items to create with, but I wanted to share a simple Christmas Card I created, using some of these new products. 

Take a look....

The"Holly Jolly" paper collection are the 2 patterned papers I used for this card.  

I believe the soft snowflake pattern is my FAVORITE paper in this paper collection.    Take a look at the rest of these pattern designs....

I used 2 different stamp sets for this card creation..  

  FIRST----the sentiment "Christ the Savior is Born"...I ADORE our mini size stamp sets....and at $3.95 , this is one you'll just "need" to add to your stamp stash! 

NEXT --- this stamp set we call "For the Tree", is one that I CONTINUE to pull out and use!  From the lovely words of "merry christmas" to this case, I used that lovely STAR image.  There are so many options to use from this particular stamp set!

The NEXT new items we used...is our 5x7 Snowflake Embossing folder!!

  Look at how LOVELY this folder embosses.....so, so beautiful!! 

If you look closely, you'll also notice a stitched edging around the Black CS snowflake embossed paper.  

By cutting my Black Cardstock (CS) from our Stitched Square Thin cuts and THEN running it through my embossing machine, I got that lovely stitched edge.   

Here are the items I used to create this card

 “Christ the Savior…”

D1891             For the Tree stamp(star)

M1260             Christ the Savior

X7250B           Holly Jolly paper

Z3239              Silver Glitter Paper

Z4181              Stitched Circle Thin Cut

Z4259              Stitched Square Thin Cut

Z3518              Snowflakes Embossing Folder

Z4248              Silver Tinsel Embossing Powder

Cardstock:        Candy Apple, Black & White Daisy

Inks:                Black

I hope you enjoyed this card, and were INSPIRED today!! :)
