Here at CardMaker, we’re big fans of anything sparkly and shiny. So much so that I decided we needed a blog hop celebrating those things that glisten and light up our world! Today’s blog hop is called Metallic Inspirations and the ladies on the blog team were challenged to create a card that shimmers whether that be with mirrored cardstock, glitter, metallic finishes, etc.
While the cards could be any occasion, I chose to create a sparkling Christmas card, one that could easily be made in multiples. It was super fast and easy to create—punch some circles from glitter cardstock, glue them onto a card base and hand-write “joy” where desired.
Put on your twinkling shoes and get ready to hop!
PS. If you’re like us and love sparkly and shiny, make sure to check out our Christmas Reflections feature in the latest issue of CardMaker where you’ll find 10 beautiful glistening designs perfect for ringing in the holiday season!
