If you have followed my blog for a while, then you likely predicted I’d cut strips of the the diagonally-striped Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper to make a chevron pattern with the design. I just can’t help myself. This striped pattern is bold and fun – and so is this chevron pattern I made with it:
I cut a 1″ strip along the top of the paper and then a 1″ strip along the side to build this fun pattern. So easy! Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper:
This is such a vibrant pack of papers – five designs are decidedly Christmas-themed, and the rest can be used throughout the year. I love each and every pattern in this pack of papers. It was easy to pair these stripes with the old-fashioned Christmas lights in a similar variety of colors.
The sentiment on my card (and at the center of the Christmas light panel) is stamped with two sentiments in the Merry & Bright stamp set. I stamped the sentiments with Melon Mambo ink on Basic White cardstock, snipped them out (leaving a thin, white border around each) and then mounted them on Pool Party cardstock. When I snipped those out, I was left with two borders around the sentiment. So easy to stamp and crop! Here’s a look at the Merry & Bright Bundle from Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog:
With so many colors on this card (I designed my card with a Melon Mambo base and Pool Party panel), I knew I couldn’t add MORE color with embellishments. A little shine, though, wouldn’t hurt, so I added three Rhinestone Basic Jewels around my sentiment. Love the additional accent!
