Hello friends! That last Christmas market was yesterday and finally we got some sun here. The first sun in December.

This week we have a Sparkle & Shine theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. This challenge runs for two weeks. I hope you will join us and don't miss the beautiful last project by our December guest designer Carrie Swift.

Layers of ink - Merry Christmas Card by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

I made a last minute Christmas card using the new Simon Says Stamp Basic Shapes Squares and different types of shiny and glittery papers. I forgot to take step photos of this project, but it is easy and straightforward.

Use Tim Holtz idea-ology Christmas baseboards.

The wreath and sentiment come from Tim Holtz Christmas Baseboards. I sanded the edges and inked the edges of the sentiment. The background paper is from Tim Holtz Christmas Backdrops.

Layer the various papers.

I die cut squares with Simon Says Stamp Basic Shapes Squares. The die set contains 19 square dies in different sizes. Very useful for many types of projects. I turned one of the squares into a frame (the gold glitter one). There is also Simon Says Stamp Silver Vellum, Gold Matte and Crimson and Gold Glitter cardstock.

Add glossy accents and Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling gems.

I added Glossy Accents to all the berries and glued Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gold Gems to the wreath.

The card is very shiny, which you can maybe see best on this photo.
