Challenge #1 "Let it Sparkle"
create a project and add anything that shines or sparkles... glitter, jewels, tinsel etc...
Challenge runs from Tuesday to Sunday at midnight, then my design team will choose their top 3 favorites.

Yesterday's card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge I used rosettes (see that card -HERE)... and guess what, I'm still making them... I told you they were addictive... have you made a rosette yet? I love them!
My card today has a vintage flair, and I love it especially the background paper which is from last years DCWV Christmas combo stack (180 sheets) as well as the brown checkered paper.

Here is where I added my "sparkle" this is a fun silver metal brad (the photo looks a bit off), I purchased it years ago from Oriental Trading (item no longer in stalk :(

I stamped using the phrase "A Cup of Good Cheer" right on that beautiful vintage looking paper. Stamp is from my "Gingerbread Holiday" stamp set available -HERE

One of the products I used for my rosette card is the vintage Christmas self-adhesive metal frames there are 6 little accents in a package; 1 1/8" inches and the images are simply adorable. I've use 5 of the metal frames in the photo below.

I've wanted to try making these paper rosettes for sometime so I just did a google search for a paper rosette video and found several on You Tube to help me get started... they are super easy and so fun to make, these are going to be addicting!
My large rosette with before scoring is 12" x 1 1/2" the small is 12" x 1"
I place small 1 1/4" circles behind the metal frames before placing on the rosette.
I used my Martha Stewart border punch for the cream border.

Look at the close-ups of the metal charms the images are so cute!

These rosettes would make really cute embellishments for a package
