It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented and creative Jaydee is hosting a theme challenge: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.
I created a winter scene featuring Sparkle Glimmer paper, Gold Foil and a pair of gold embossed Dashing Deer. I hope you enjoy today’s card!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
There are lots of steps involved in making today’s card, and it is a little time intensive. However, none of the steps are difficult, and the resulting card is well worth the effort, don’t you agree?
The old warhorse, Lovely as a Tree was used to create the backdrop. The Bare Trees image was inked in Soft Suede, stamped off, and the stamped onto Shimmer White cardstock.
An oval was die cut from a Shimmer White panel. This panel was then embossed using the Tufted Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Of course, this set the stage for adding Gold Metallic Pearls at each tuft.
The sparkle on today’s card is courtesy of Sparkle Glimmer Paper trees, which were die cut using the tree dies from the In the Woods Framelits collection. The pine tree is on the left of the oval…
while the deciduous trees are on the right.
Gold embossed deer are nestled cozily near the trees.
The result is a Christmas card, elegant with its touches of gold…and oh, so sparkly! I hope you enjoyed it! I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of today’s gold with sparkles Christmas card, so don’t forget to leave a comment. And don’t forget to visit the rest of the Design Team for more inspiration!

Ann this is a WOWZER for sure! Love everything about it. You knocked it out of the park on this one. Hugs.
How do I get you on YouTube. Would like to subscribe to you there.
Hi, Maggie! I hope you see this reply. I tried to email you with a screen shot, but it did not go through. On the upper right hand side, there are 5 buttons. The second from the right takes you to my You Tube Channel. It is the button directly to the right of the Pinterest “P” button. I am on You Tube as The Stampin’ Schach.
Wow, this is just gorgeous, Ann! I love the colors, all the wonderful layers, and especially the ‘tufted’ background!
I rarely comment on cards but this one literally stopped me in my tracks! I just had to follow your Pinterest post to your blog to tell you how much it took my breath away! It is the perfect combination of glam, glitz and elegance. Love…love…love!
Don’t know how often I have looked at your gorgeous card, Ann – it is just stunning.
Ann… again, another card that is stunning! Your sense of elegant is fabulous. This is ditto for your most recent card… alpine adventure…also elegant!
You are such a talented person when making gorgeous cards like this one. Nothing else compares. Super, job.
I am not surprised to see 25 comments on this card, I have been waiting to comment on it after I saw it in the gallery. It’s breathtaking! You should frame this, as it is a true work of art! Just the background alone is stunning! Awesome creation!
This deserves a big WOW!!!!! Gorgeous.
Lovely! Serene and elegant at the same time. Love the sense of depth the various layers give to the scene. Isn’t Soft Suede a fabulous brown to use with gold? I’m in awe, Ann.
Love this card, tranquil yet exciting at the same time.
O M Goodies Ann, this card is over the top beautiful. tfs Debie J from sunny Calif.
Absolutely gorgeous…wow!
Wow! Ann, this is a stunning winter scene you have created, indeed. I have to keep going back to look at it again and again and catch a different detail every time. Everything is just stunning but I have to say that the metallic pearls really are the “cherry on top” of this already amazing card. Absolutely fabulous, my friend!
Ann this card is so you – and utterly fabulous into the bargain! All that glimmer and sparkle and touches of gold – love the pearl-finished quilted frame, it really is a stunning card! Whoever receives this is a lucky soul!
Wow, so elegant and pretty. Love all the gold and sparkly touches. The embossed panel with those gold beads is a plus. TFS
