Crafty Maria's Stamping World: Merry & Bright- a Christmas Bauble card plus more

I initially did not get the " Bright Bauble" bundle, thinking I was not going to make any 3d Christmas ornaments this year. The pandemic has really put a wrench in my plans for local Craft shows to sell any items I make, and classes have been cancelled for another year as well.

However, after careful consideration, I decided to make family and friends a 3D Christmas ornament this year. This bundle would be perfect for this.

But before I make ornaments I decided to make some cards using the Bauble as a focal point. Idea!! Why not make a card to match the ornament?

So here is my card:

I must admit I did not know where to start making this card, and whenever that is the case I select the DSP ( Whimsey & Wonder DSP) first selecting my colour palette from there( Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Petal Pink)

Because its a larger stamp, I used the stamparatus to stamp the image, and coloured it with Stampin' Blends and die cut it with the Delicate Bauble. Before adding it to the card, I added Crystal Effects over the entire surface. When it was dry, it was added to the card front using dimensionals. Some 3/8" metallic Petal Pink ribbon was inserted through the top of the ornament (bauble) and adhered to the top of the card between the DSP and Basic White layers. A bow made with the same ribbon is added to the top of the bauble.

The Mint Macaron card base is 5 1/2" square. It is matted first with Basic White, followed by Whimsey & Wonder DSP. I cut a panel of the reverse side of the DSP (Misty Moonlight) and adhered it to the middle of the DSP. Before adhering it, I added some silver foil die cut with the Basic Border die along each of the long sides.

Supplies Used:

Stamp: Bright Baubles

Inks: Black Memento, Stampin' Blends (Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue), Misty Moonlight
