Merry & Bright

Back in Stock

Before I share today’s Merry & Bright project, I wanted to let you know that the Trucking Along Bundle has been restocked (after being unavailable for a while). I don’t know how long it will stay in stock, so today might be a perfect time to grab it up while it’s available. Here’s a look at this adorable and versatile bundle that’s available at an Online Exclusives product:

For many years I have decorated with white lights for Christmas. I’m pretty sure we’ll shift to bright, bold colors this year. I’ve created a festive and fun card to share with you today that really puts me in the mood for a different color scheme this year. My card features VERY Christmassy images, but the colors are non-traditional. I started with a variety of blues, greens, pinks and yellows but landed on these three. Here’s my Merry & Bright card:

The colors are bold, but the star of this card is the Merry & Bright Bundle. There are so many ways to build images with just stamps or just dies or combinations of the two. What a brilliant design to this new bundle! Here’s a look at the Merry & Bright Bundle:

Merry & Bright Bundle, Stampin Up! 161951I stamped a string across this 3-3/4″ x 3″ Crumb Cake panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added lights and sentiment. I cropped the bulb bases with Smoky Slate cardstock and cropped each bulb from the coordinating cardstock. Before assembling the bulbs, I stamped the filament image inside the bulbs with a coordinating color. So simple!

There are so many great combinations you can create with the block sentiments in the set. Long or short, these sentiments are easy to build and simple to snip out with paper snips. Here’s a closer look at the sentiment on my card:

I added three 1″ strips of the three coordinating colors behind the focal point of this card to pull the colors from the bulbs into the rest of the design. If you like this bright-and-cheery mix of Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
