Your Christmas countdown continues – it’s 16 weeks today until Christmas Day! And in even more exciting news, it’s only two days until the Stampin’ Up! September December Mini Catalogue goes live and you can purchase the Merry & Bright bundle.
Sometimes the dies in a bundle can be overlooked if they don’t have a matching stamp set, and to honest, I don’t think I realised the Merry & Bright bundle included these two strings of Christmas lights until my delivery arrived!
I’ve used the die with the more rounded light bulb to create this slimline card. Four “string of Christmas lights” dies were die cut from Basic White cardstock and then coloured in with a variety of Stampin’ Blends.
The top layer of the card was embossed using the Fern 3D embossing folder to mimic the branches of a Christmas tree.
Using the star die in the Merry & Bright bundle, I die cut a few stars from the More Dazzle Specialty paper.
The sentiment is from the Merry & Bright stamp set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo black for contrast against the white card base and card front layer and and the bright colours of the Christmas lights.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rosa Leyden. I can’t wait to see what Rosa has made this week.
If at any time you find a broken link, you can find the complete list of all participants on Sharon’s blog.
If you live in Australia, you can find and purchase these products in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store.
I’ll be back on Wednesday with the AWH Colour Creations blog where we will be showcasing Crumb Cake.
Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx

Well you have done it now Catherine. I need this bundle!!! Your card is fantastic. I love the colours you have chosen to use. They make for such a happy cheerful card. The glitter stars add a pop of shine and the simple ‘label’ greeting is perfect.
Love your card Cathy. Brilliant idea to use the Fern EF and create a Christmas tree with a string of lights. Love how you coloured the lights using Stampin’ Blends.
Such a lovely bright card Cathy. Those strings of lights really pop off the white embossed background and the sentiment panels are fab and bold.
So bright and happy Cathy. I love it. You have made it so hard to resist this bundle. Your coloured string of bright lights is gorgeous. I so love the style of stamp – black background with white lettering – you have used it beautifully. The Fern EF is a great background representative of a tree, covered with delightful lights. xxx
Love your bright, fun card, Cathy. It is perfect for the slimline style and I love the bold contrast of the black greeting.
Oh my gosh, I love this bright and happy Christmas card. The white embossed layer mimics a pine tree with those gorgeous brightly coloured lights and those sparkly glittered stars. I’m in love with this, it really is stunning.
Very sweet and delicate card Cath. Doing it as a slim line card means you can add extra strings of lights, great idea
Super-cute bright lights and dazzly stars, Cath! The Fern embossing folder is a lovely choice for the all-white backdrop to the brightness. Great Christmas card. 🙂
