Welcome to the July, 2024 edition of the Sparkles Christmas Challenge! Our host for # 162, Caz., chose Handmade Ornaments or Ornaments for our theme. When you get finished here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to view the creations from the very talented members of our design team. After you’ve created your own themed card, please don’t forget to upload it to our gallery.
Here’s my ornaments card:


While I used the retired Whimsical Trees products for the DSP, and stamp set with coordinating dies, this layout can be found on page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! 2024 -2025 annual catalog. Here’s a look at those templates:

I used the third from the left on the bottom for this card. I’ve already posted cards I’ve made using other templates and you can find them here, and I included four cards from the templates here,, These templates have been instrumental in helping me get some of my mojo back after being sick for almost a month. I’ve been told that full recovery could take two to three months. I encourage you to use them as well when you feel stuck in your creative space.
Beautiful card!! I love that you decorated the inside to match!
Love the pretty colors of your card and those dainty ornaments!
