Sparkle and Shine

 If you are ever in a hurry and need some quick Christmas cards, my cards today are just that.  And so easy to mass produce.  Everything today is from the Gina K Sparkle and Shine card kit.  I've never bought her kits before and for what was included in the kit was well worth the money. 

I have 4 cards to share, using images from 2 of the 3 stamps sets that are included in the kit.  These pictures seem a bit dark, lighting was terrible, dark and gloomy day, but they are so pretty in real life!

For my first one I embossed the ornament in gold, these are 3 stamps to this, the ornament, the hanger and then the bow.  I embossed the sentiment onto some white c/s, trimmed it out using a MFT flag end die, then added some gold sequins.





I'm using the Christmas tree for this one, again embossed in gold, and also embossed the sentiment in gold onto the same dark green c/s.  I sponged some distress ink rustic wilderness around the edges. Added some red rhinestones to finish off.

 


The next 2 cards are the same, except one is embossed in gold and one in silver.  I embossed the tapestry stamp twice, once from the top and the other from the bottom onto some SU Bermuda Bay c/s.  Once embossed I sponged the same ink around the edges for the embossed piece to darken it up.  The sentiment I used for this one is actually from Papertrey Ink  from the Beautiful Berries: Winter set. To finish this one off I added some gold pearls


same as above, but I used silver embossing powder some silver pearls to finish off.



Thank you for stopping by.  Keep well and be safe!

Oh, stop! These are sooo beautiful, and what more do you need, really? They're classics! They look like something you'd buy in a box. That snowflake ornament is gorgeous and intricate and those blue cards just steal my heart. That kit was a smart buy! Happy holidays, Pauline!

The embossing is beautiful and you wouldn't know they were quick. Embossing is messy and always takes me a while. These turned out wonderful. I have never gotten one of the kits myself but you intrigued me with this one.
