Happy Holidays Hop…
Yep, it’s a HOP! So, if you happened upon here randomly or you didn’t come here from Susan’s blog, take a moment to rewind to the beginning at Julie’s blog. She’s also your Hipster Hostess with the Mostess for this week’s TCP Tuesday challenge. So, break out those stamps from The Cat’s Pajamas and make some that shimmers and sparkles. Here’s my take on the “create with shiny embellishments” challenge…
I paired the new set, FREEZIN’ SEASON, with a lot of bling here! The large layered embellishment uses snowflakes from the Snowflake and Snowflake Lace Papers CutUps dies, along with a punched star layered with tulle that is sprayed with Glimmer Mist {pic doesn’t grab the sparkles} and a Sparklet from Kaiser Craft…
Now, you can’t have a bling-y card without some Stickles…well, at least I can’t! I used Diamond Stickles for a little snow-like shimmer on this darling snow bunny…
Here’s another card, using stamps from the newly released RAISING CANE set…
As for the bling on this card, I used Diamond Stickles to adhere white Flower Soft around the brim of his hat, as well as some green rhinestones centered on the snowflakes {cut from the Snowflake Lace Paper CutUps die}…
I am absolutely in love with the new GIFT CARD ENVIE CutUps die and I used it on this card in a slightly unconventional way. I used the flap portion to create the top kraft panel on my card…
I can’t forget to mention the Christmas Baker’s Twine that I tied my button off with. I am going to run out of this stuff in a jiffy this year! <3 it!
Before I send you on your way to the next stop on the hop, I just want to pop in a couple pics of the CutUps dies used on these cards...
Ok, it’s time for me to send you on your way to Amy’s blog where she is sure to bring on the bling! Happy hopping!
So pretty and shiny. I love the embellies and color scheme of these cards.
so bold and bright.
Stunning Jen! Love both your creations in all their glitteriness!

Absolutely stunning as always, Jen!! TFS these awesome cards!
Wowza! A doubly delicious feast for the eyes. Love your bunnies, and that itty bit of tulle is a divine touch.
Oh Jen! These are adorable!
Wow, these are both so beautiful. Your talent is endlessly inspiring–I sit and gaze at the fine detailing you put into your work in the hopes that I might take away some bit of your awesomeness when I turn to my projects–probably wishful thinking but I do so enjoy your wonderful work and find so much inspiration in all you do! So, thanks for that!
You are always so brilliant with the layered embellishments! Love the non-traditional zigzag strips too! Super cute card!
These are simply amazing.
FABULOUS cards Jen! I LOVE the bunch of tulle on your first card! What a great accent! And, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the candy cane card! That paper is perfect for this fun image! Wonderfully done!
Jen this is over the top cute. Love this card girl.
