Hello folks. Jingle Belles is playing Bingo this week.
Here's how to play.
I scored across the bottom with dry embossing, tree and ribbon.
Retrosketch #26 really helped me out with this. Here's the fantastic sketch by Danielle Daws.
Shopping our Stash this week has us Using our Favorite Thing. My Big Shot is probably my favorite thing with embossing folders and dies. I hadn't used the Top Note Die in ages or that color of seam binding ever. So my stash got some attention.
I wish the picture showed the glitter better. I used Dazzling Details and IRL it sparkles real pretty.
Those little birds are from the Itty Bitty Bits set. I stamped with Real Red and fussy cut them out. (They kept trying to fly away. Wow are they hard to hang on to!)
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
Card Recipe
Stamps: Evergreen, Itty Bitty Bits
Ink: Always Artichoke, Real Red
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Other: Big Shot, Argyle EF, Top Note Die, Always Artichoke Seam Binding, Dazzling Details
There's still time to play if you get a chance.
We've been watching the coverage of Isaac in the Gulf States, in between PBS Kids and Sprout. Our prayers go out to the people there. That's a lot of water! Stay safe!
Thanks so much for the visit. I love visitors!
Enjoy!
hi bonnie, thanks for popping by. oooh, this is so pretty; i love the tree on the left with the glitter and the seam binding and the embossing makes the tree and ribbon pop even more.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ribbon ... the embossing is so elegant too ... and love the pops of red ... so glad you joined our BINGO fun at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card with that beautiful tree image! I love the sketch you based this card on, and those tiny birds are such a great touch!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I am sure that tree with the glitter looks absolutely beautiful in real life as it looks beautiful in the picture.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful Bonnie embossing classic! That seam binding is a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Bonnie! I jut love that tree and adding the birds was a wonderful touch, the pop of red looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch, and I LOVE your take on it! The AA seam binding is really gorgeous. My Top Note die hasn't seen love lately either.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, your christmas tree looks great dressed up in glitter. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card - I love how the ribbon comes halfway across from under the Top Note. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie - gorgeous card - I love the pop of red color on the tree - (and the glitter does show :)
ReplyDeleteEvery element works perfectly together!! I love the itty bitty birds!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! You CUT THOSE BIRDS OUT??? I thought they were stamped on there so you did an AMAZING job on them!! =D Gorgeous card too--love the argyle embossing!
ReplyDeleteThe Bingo challenges sound like fun - I must look into them. I really like the Evergreen stamp - I might have to buy it!! I love the way you used it on the half die cut with the ribbon anchoring it to the embossed layer.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazingly lovely and totally elegant holiday card, not to mention a FABULOUS take on all three challenges, i especially love your version of the sketch! well done, and thanks for playing BINGO with us this week at JINGLE BELLES! ♥

ReplyDeleteMy kind of card..love the tree with the pretty red birds. I recently got out my Top Note Die and made a Christmas card...one which won't be uploaded for a couple weeks, I think. Yes, I work ahead. LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, it's another disaster on the Gulf. They really need prayers, for sure.
Great take on the sketch - I'd love for you to link up at 52 Car Pickup this week!
