ICS Blog Hop - Making Christmas Bright

Woo Hoo it's the first Wednesday of the month you know what that means RIGHT? ICS Blog hop time!  Our theme this month is Christmas Cards Galore since Christmas is coming up in just a few short weeks!

My inspiration for my card was this recent purchase (Disney Christmas light bulb necklace) for Mickey's Christmas party in Orlando that I attended while at our OnStage demonstrator convention.  Here I am at the party with Donald Duck and Scrooge!

The stamp set that I am using is the Making Christmas Bright set with coordinating light bulb punch.

 

I wanted to create a quick & easy but fun card!  The card base is Thick Whisper White 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2".  I used one of the line stamps from this set and stamped in Call Me Clover to create the strings.  Part of the sentiment is also stamped in Call Me Clover and the rest in Lovely Lipstick.  These are two of our newer in-colors that I absolutely love!  With the punch I was able to quickly punch out the bulbs from Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick, and Pineapple Punch card stock.  I also stamped these ink colors to show the bulb shining!   The bulbs are finished off by punching out the base out of of the galvanized metallic paper.  The lights are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals so they pop off the card!  This is going to be an easy card to replicate that is so much fun!  

I hope you enjoyed my card!

The next stop in our blog hop is my friend, Joni!
