Bright Baubles, Delicate Baubles Bundle, Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog

Today is Halloween and I am not making a Halloween card (as promised). I am moving on. I was going to work on something with more of a fall theme but I saw this "Bright Baubles" bundle and pulled it off my shelf to see what I could come up with.  And here's what I made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.  

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pool Party card stock for the layer.

I took a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White and I die cut the solid part of the image. I saved the cut out piece. I don't know why. I save everything! I might need it and then again, I might not! LOL  Anyway, it's there if I do!  Then I was looking in my folders for something fun and festive for the background. I had thought of leaving it plain but then I saw these swirling snowflakes and went with it. I do not know where that embossing folder is from.

Then I took the word piece that matched the cut out piece and I die cut it using silver foil card stock. I had added the double sided sticky paper to it so it would be a sticker and I wouldn't have to mess with glue.

I glued the embossed piece to the Pool Part piece.  Then I taped that to the front of the card.

I took the silver foil piece and removed the backing. Then I set it in place on top of the Pool Party exposed area. I pressed down on the backside so I wouldn't make any marks on the silver card stock.

I took some silver lined ribbon that I had and tied a bow. I glued it in place and the card was done. 

I had thought about adding words but the "Merry & Bright" pretty much took care of that, didn't it?  SO this is the finished card!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's Christmas card,
