Celebrate in style

I completed this project using all products from stampin up.  I was trying to decide how I wanted to use the bow punch I had just received and had stamped the background a few days before so I decided it would be perfect to throw some cardstock on to look like ribbon around a package and turn the card itself into the gift.  I am so happy with the finished product that I am making more to send to family and friends and even giving some to a friend so she can send them as well.  I will be submitting to the fillowing challenges:

Merry and Bright

I made this project using the merry and bright bundle (stamps and dies) and the following colors:  pretty peacock, berry burst, bubble bath and bsic white thick and regular.  I used the glimmer paper from the mini catalog.  I ink blended behind the die cuts on the front to give the lights the look of glowing.

I also used the same colors inside but only stamped 2 lights and stamped the sentiment and the light string in pretty peacock.  I love the end result and couldnt be happier with the finished product.  I did forget to mention I used the dies stitched with whimsy on the rectangles on the front also.  All products used are from stampin up unless stated.  I will be submitting to the following challenges:

Let It Snow

I made this project using basic white thick cardstock, fresh freesia and orchid oasis inks and the sparkling snowflakes bundle all from stampin.  Available in the mini catalog that is active from now until the end of december.  I also colored white ribbon with the light orchid oasis stampin blend.  I used a blending brush and blended fresh freesia ink onto the white panel very lightly, I also blended it to the edges of the snowflake punched panel.   All of the snowflakes and the sentiment are available in the stamp set, I highly recommend this bundle, out of all of the ones I purchased from the mini catalog (which sadly was all with the exception of like 3, its shameful I know) this has been one of my absolute favorites and my go to frequently.  I will be submitting this projecy to the following challenges:
