Today I am sharing a really sweet card made using a combination of the Making Christmas Bright and County Lane stamp sets to create a bouquet of lights,
Making the card
I started by stamping the sweet jug from the Country Home stamp set in Basic Gray ink onto a scrap of Smoky Slate cardstock and cut out the body of the jug using my super sharp Paper Snips. I stamped the jug again in Basic Gray onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added a little ‘ground’ using a Blender Pen and some Smoky Slate ink.

I inked up the bunch of balloon strings from the Balloon Celebration stamp set using the basic Gray ink and stamped it inside the jug on the Whisper White layer then added the Smoky Slate stamped jug, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive over the top to hide the ends.

Taking the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch I punched out some bulbs from scraps of Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Coastal Cabana cardstock. I then punched out the bulb fittings from scrap Basic Gray cardstock and adhered the parts together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I coated the bulbs with Clear Wink of Stella……..gorgeous.

The bulbs were adhered over the strings with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot, to hold the ‘strings’ together.
Such a pretty card. I hope you like it
