I was so excited when my All is Bright Designer Series Paper arrived so I could make this card. It arrived Thursday and here it is! I just love these old fashioned Christmas Bulbs. Hopefully this weekend we can up the new lights we bought for the house. Red and White - just like these, except clear (like the clear ones on here). I can hardly wait to see how they look. We've always had multi-colored lights so it will be so new to have just two colors!
Anyway, I wandered... On to the card!

Still working long hours, but finally took some time today to do some crafting. Sadly, my brain needed a jump start so I picked a stamp set and picked up my Holiday Catalog and here's what I came up with. A little bit of CASEing the catalog and a little bit of my own ideas.
To get the tree branches I used Christmas Staircase Thinlits and Garden Green card stock. I'm not sure what was used in the catalog, but I like these thinlits. I lightly sponged matching inks under the bulbs to give a bit of a glow.
Recipe:
Real Red - 8 1/2" X 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4
Garden Green - 5 1/2" x 2 1/4"
Whisper White - 5" x 3 1/4"
Galvanized Metallic Paper - for top of bulb punch
Whisper White Scraps - for stamping and punching bulbs
Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin Ribbon
Inside I stamped the string of lights with Garden Green and colored them in with Stampin' Write Markers (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green and Pool Party). The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green.
A little confession, I forgot to stamp the string of lights BEFORE adhering the Whisper White inside, so I took two small post-it notes and placed them up against the Whisper White so I could stamp without getting any onto to the Real Red.
Worked like a charm!
Thank you for looking in today! We still have some long hours to finish up the counting process, but I'm hoping to still be able to post each day. Fingers Crossed!
Happy Monday! Hug a Veteran today - Veteran's Day may have been officially Sunday, but we celebrate again today as a work holiday... for some.
