Star Studded Season
This is a swap card I did for Jami’s Holiday Mini Swap. I used Star Studded Season which is a simple set with only 1 large star but tons of Christmas sentiments. So nice to have a lot of sentiments to chose from for Christmas cards! I had to make 8 full cards, which is a nice small swap — very manageable!!! And I love that they were full cards rather than the typical card fronts. We can actually use all of our swap cards at some point in time, and I like that!!!
And here again we have my very favorite color for the season, Purely Pomegranate, in paper, ink and luscious satin ribbon. Baroque Motifs is used for the background, and the swirls were gone over with a glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds, so these cards are nice and sparkly IRL!!! The staris stamped on white,cut out, backed with pomegranate, cut out again and then wrapped with the newSilver Elastic Cord — just love this cord — it looks just like the old cord but is SOOOOO much easier to use. Itdrapes and hangs so nicely when that is what you’reafter! The DP is Happy Harmony, also in the new Holiday Mini. Love that for Christmas cards — it coordinates with the Pomegranate, River Rock and Always Artichoke — all great colors for Christmas cards! And, of course, no card is truly complete (LOL!) without a gorgeous piece of lush satin ribbon! This is sold by the spool in the Holiday Mini as well — just wish they had more colors available!!! It’s available in Chocolate and Pomegranate — and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this to be a regular item with more colors to come – we’ll see!!!!
If you’d like to see the rest of the cards in this swap (probably 32 I think), go to SCS and keyword in JSWAP907, and that should bring them up; however, we are just starting to upload them, so there aren’t too many there yet — check back over the next few days. It’s a nice way to see a lot of fabulous samples from the Holiday Mini all in one place! And if you particularly like a card you see, leave them a comment and let them know! It will be appreciated!!!

I got this card in the swap!! Gorgeous!!!
Well, I particularly like this one! Wow! I love the glitter on the swirls. Sometimes that’s hard to do without smearing the classic inks. Fantastic! Gorgeous colors and I think you’ve about sold me on that sumptious satin ribbon!
This is just lovely, Sharon!
I love, love, love this card!!!! I’m so glad I was in your swap group!!!! I love how you glittered the swirls!!!! Awesome!!! 🙂
I didn’t realized you’d joined us in blogland … so glad I found it. Love how this color looks in a monochromatic creation and that ribbon is just delicious.
Sharon, this is soooo beautiful! I love this Christmas card.
Beautiful Sharon….love the ribbon!!
Dang! I was gone most of the weekend, and look how far behind I am on your blog already!!! I just can’t keep up with you, girl! This card is purely beautiful! Great use of the Happy Harmony dp too. That ribbon dresses it up a lot, but it would still be a great card without it. I really must make some Christmas cards with Purely Pomegranate. Linda
