It’s the weekend, and I am finally getting my Mojo on! Inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch, I relied upon my Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions folder to create my background for this card which features my favorite trio of non-traditional holiday colors: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Taken with Teal! Punches-a-plenty also come into play in creating this bling-a-licious card!
The Stampin’ Schach Tips:
- Reduce your workload by using punches whenever possible! I used the 1″ Circle Punch to punch out the “Snowflake” center from one of the Delightful Decorations ornaments. The 1-1/4″ Square Punch and Photo Corners Punch were used to create the dramatic border. And, the Jumbo Snowflake Punch created the large Rich Razzleberry snowflake.
- Texture quickly and easily adds drama to your card! Zip that card stock through the Big Shot with a Textured Impressions Folder.
- Bling it! Rhinestone Circle Brads can always be counted on to add a touch of glamour!
- Go for the unconventional! I love the look of these colors together! I think that they make for a striking card. Don’t be afraid to embrace what you like.

I agree with Gina and the rest… awesome, stunning… amazing work my dear. I look forward to your cards too. Hugs,
Love this colour combination… I wrote down the colours and came back a few hours later to create my own card using the same colour combo… if you’re interested, you can see it at http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com/2009/09/cool-colour-combo.html
I will admit, I think I like your “formula” for the combination better than mine… I will definitely play with these colours again!
I’ve always thought of myself as a traditional gal. you’ve really opened my eyes to other color combos! More, more more!

I love the blend of colors and patterns. They create a perfect flow. I think this is the greatest use of the photo corner punch I have ever seen. You are innovative and inspiring! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
This is gorgeous….that sketch intimidated me, but I love that you substituted the squares for the circles….and I just love everything else about it, too!
Sounds like a fantastic offer. Beautiful card. Kind of a Native American arts feel. Hugs, Mary
WOW!!! I love this card and I love these colors!!!
wow – this is a stunning card.
Hi, Scrappywonder! I had never thought about those poor neglected center-less ornaments until now! But your question has given me an idea! I still have the punched out ornaments from this and a few others cards. Stay tuned for the results in a few days!
Really striking card with this color combo! Your style is so precise and finished…I heart your art!!!!
Love these unconventional Christmas colors! And I learned a new vocabulary word – blingalicious! I used to tell my kids when they learned a new word to try to use it that same day in “regular” conversation – I’ll let you know how I do =-)
Great card!
Ann, I love the colors and especially love the way you incorporated the corner punch. What a great idea!!
Wow Ann, fabulous job on this sketch (I was a tad intimidated by it)! Love your colors and that embossing…it’s gorgeous!
Gosh Ann I wish you were here to teach classes! each day surpasses the next. Your colors are breathtaking! xox
Gorgeous Ann…love those colors together and how you layered the snowflake….and your tips are priceless! TFS!!!! {SMILES}
love it to say the least ~~ my question/challenge: what are you doing with the rest of the punched out/stamped ornament after you ‘steal’ the center? TFS!! R 😉
STUNNING! Your colors are now becoming my favorite Christmas colors. Your card is, once again, beautiful. I think I look forward to the weekends knowing that you’ll be making cards during that time! 🙂
