The #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is a global challenge hosted by UK Artisan Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Martin Stone, and the challenge for Day 1 is “Shining Bright”.

I’ve taken today’s challenge very literally, creating a Night of Navy and Gold card that uses the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper, Adhesive Backed star trinkets, Alphabet a la Mode dies and the Merry & Bright dies.

The ‘Shining Bright’ sentiment was die cut using an exciting new online only product, Silver & Gold 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Adhesive-backed Glimmer Paper. As soon as I die cut the letters out they became repositionable stickers – what a game changer!
The stars were die cut from gold foil that had first been attached to an adhesive sheet. No mess and no fuss!

Instead of the letter ‘I’ in ‘Bright’ I die cut one of the Christmas light bulbs from gold foil, adding a Night of Navy filament.

Adhesive Backed star trinkets add dimension to all three gold stars.
