Sparkly & Bright

I love this stamp set & I'm sad to see it go on the Last Chance List.

Sparkly & Bright (115346 £16.95) is a fun set of 6 stamps and are great for making quick Christmas cards, I've 4 cards to share with you over the next couple of days.

This first card is using the ever so cute Rudolph. I've coloured his nose on one of the images in the Cherry Cobbler to match the paper from Jolly Holiday DSP (117159 £8.75). To then give it a real light bulb look I've covered it in Crystal Effects dimensional glue.

I've finished the card off with a bit of Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin ribbon. I love this technique, which with the help of the ever so talented Bekka I have finally mastered! 

I'm not sure if I can describe this well, but I'll try. You need to make sure you have one end of the ribbon well covered in Sticky Strip (double sided tape) and fastened to the back of your work. Then on the free end fray it, and get 1 thread form the centre and pull. Move your ruffles down then pull some more. I started with a piece of ribbon 3 times longer than the space it's covering. Once you have the ruffles all along wrap the free end in Stick Strip and  pop some Stick Strip to the card and 'arrange' your ruffles on top, finishing off with sticking the free end to the back of your work. Clear as mud?

That's all for today, thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
