    this Card Idea

    I'm so excited to be posting for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop for those you voted to be in the top ten! Thank you to everyone that voted for me, it is much appreciated. I featured the "Sparkle of the Season" bundle from Stampin' Up! for my winning card that you can see HERE. The cork paper is so amazing that I wanted to use it again today for this winners hop. You will notice other similarities as I continued to use the amazing wreath dies found in the Seasonal Swirls dies by Stampin' Up!

    Thank you card featuring Sparkle of the Season

    Make it yourself:

    Using your favourite patterned designer series paper is the easiest way to choose colours for cards. This pattern is from the Blackberry Beauty 12x12 designer series paper by Stampin' Up! It is the most gorgeous paper ever! It coordinates perfectly with the Cork 12x12 specialty paper and the Brushed Metallic 12x12 cardstock.

    The gold shine adds additional beauty to the wonderful patterns found in the Blackberry Beauty designer series paper. To coordinate, I chose to die cut the wreath with Cinnamon Cider cardstock and used Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the main card. Adding gold and copper leaves from the Brushed Metallic 12x12 cardstock creates a beautiful wreath. The gold shimmer ribbon adds some additional sparkle and pulls it all together. I love the texture the cork adds to the cord and the contrast with the gold elements. In fact, I love it so much I created a completely different card featuring gold and cork HERE.

    Very Vanilla paper adds a soft touch to the background and is embossed to give additional texture. If you live in Canada, I am happy to help you order all the supplies you need to create this card yourself. Contact me HERE for help with ordering and to ask questions.
