Sweet Stamps December Guest Designer ~Sparkle

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!
Hello Everyone and Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
 I have been a busy, busy with getting things ready for Christmas as most of you are. I have just a few little things left to do and then I can focus on baking. I don't know if you know, but baking is another one of my passions, especially holiday baking! I love to make up goody trays for work, neighbors, Christmas parties, etc! How about you, do you do a lot of baking for Christmas?

Today is one of my Guest Design days over at Sweet Stamps and I have a couple fun projects to share with you for their weekly challenge.

This weeks challenge is: Sparkle
Doesn't that sound like fun? Come on and join in...would love to see your creations!

For my project, I decided to make a few gift card holders~they are sure to come in handy soon with the Holidays right around the corner, right?
I found this gift card holder at the Silhouette Store, Design #50748 and cut it on my cameo. I used SU cherry cobbler and crumb cake card stock. I embossed the holder with the snowflake folder from Darice and added fun little sparkly gems from Recollections. The snowflake border is created using the EK snowflake border punch and glittered with Sparkling Ice glitter.
The tree also has a sparkly edge which again, I used Sparkling Ice glitter. I stamped the sentiment with  8025 Christmas Greetings stamp set from Sweet Stamps.  I finished by tying on some pretty gingham ribbon, jute and a pretty embellishment from my stash.
I also made a pretty sparkly Christmas card~
I started with SU Squares framelits die for the base of my card. The next layers are cut and distressed with the zutter DIA. The pattern papers is from Recollections~All is Calm collection.
 I used the IME026 Snow Covered Tree metal die for the tree's. I inked around the edges with walnut stain,  glittered the edges using the Wink of Stella pen for a sparkly effect and with foam dots, put them place. Pretty, ha?
The scallop is from a SU punch which layered a 1" circle from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I then topped it off with this pretty 2019 Ice Crystal Snowflake metal die and glittered it with Sparkling Ice for a nice sparkle.
The tag is stamped with the 8028 Happy Winter sentiment which I fussy cut around it, added some doodling and then adhered down. I finished my card by tying on a pretty satin double bow, jute string and little red bell.
You can find the sentiments and metal dies I have used today here at the
 Sweet Stamps STORE.

  7. Your tags are so beautiful, Sherrie!! I love the sparkly snowflake border and the pretty ribbon!! The card is absolutely gorgeous!! Those trees are fabulous!! That die is on my wish list!! All of the details you added are perfect!! Awesome job on everything my friend!!

    The only baking I do is some Christmas cookies. It feels like there is so much to get done before Christmas and the time is flying by. Every year I say I'm going to start earlier so I don't stress and every year I don't. You would think I would learn :) I hope you are having a wonderful December so far my sweet friend!! Happy Monday!! Big hugs :)

  19. Well hello Miss Sherrie! Your gift card holders and sweet sparkly card are just FABULOUS! Perfect colors for the tag - love the gingham ribbon and the trees on the card are SUPER!!!

    I hope you had a WONDERFUL time with your family! I'm so sorry I haven't been by. The day after Thanksgiving we left for our family girls trip and then Monday I traveled for work all week. My laptop was so slow and finally gave up :) so I only had my phone and boy it's hard to keep up with that small screen :) I'm slowly catching up decorating and cleaning. I hope you are doing well and getting some decent weather. I'm off to check out what you've been up to :)
    Take care my friend!

I spend a week baking all kinds of goodies for friends, neighbors, even the people at the Post Office would get something from me.. And I ALWAYS OVER DO IT! That's just my way! HA But this year since I just barely moved and don't know anyone yet... I'll be cutting the bake time down a ton! It's ok... but my boys will be here for Christmas too so I do need to bake a little! :)
