All the lights and decorations make this time of year so special. I have been known to keep up my Christmas lights well into March, in order to combat the darkness. Stampin’ Up! Hit the nail on the head for me with this suite of paper, embellishments, stamps, and dies. I have been on a kick for fun-folded cards, with this design being one of my favorites. I really wanted to show off the Lights Aglow designer series paper with the Festive Foil paper. The beautiful tree, sentiments, and labels are from the Christmas Lights & Brightest Glow stamp set & coordinating dies. I needed just a few more cards and was stumped. As usual, when I am stuck, I turn to card challenges for inspiration. The Color Throwdown #722 colors Red, Green, Black, and Gold, got me back on track! SUO Challenges is “Christmas” all month long. I also entered the card in the Jingle Bells “Wrapping Up” challenge since I am literally wrapping up Christmas cards. Now onto snowy Happy New Year cards!
