One way to help you to keep making cards all through the year is to join in Christmas themed challenges, and our monthly challenge at Sparkles Christmas is one of the challenges designed to help keep you motivated. This month our challenge is Lots of Glitter so we'd like to see lots of glitter on your cards.
For my card, I used a glue pad to stamp the sentiment panel and then sprinkled it with gold glitter. I scored a pair of lines above and below the sentiment (TIP - position the lines by scoring lightly from the front and then turn the card over and score more firmly from the back). Then I used the glue pad and glitter again to stamp the background stamp from an old Hero Arts set all over the remaining space. I had some glittery peel off borders which I used to fill the spaces in between the scored lines.

Happy New Year Jane! Very Christmassy! Love all the sparkle on your card, bet you had nearly as much on you if you're anything like me!
This certainly is a very sparkly card Jane. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I was interested to read that you used glitter rather than embossing powder with your glue pad. Something I've never thought to try - but I will now. Barbxx
wow a jump on your Christmas cards, how fab. I tried to make 1 a week last year and succeeded, still have a few left over. I sold a few, this year I should sell more, I need to address them earlier then I will know how many I have to sell. So scrambling to make "winter" cards because you missed the timeline to make Merry Christmas ones. Will check out your site. for me I use the Jingle Belles Rock, and ABC Christmas.
This is so pretty. Thanks for playing along at Crafty Creations! Anna-Karin DT
