Turn on the holiday lights and rev up the WOW factor! These ornaments double as Christmas tree lights and made this card a breeze to create! I went with traditional colors. What trio would you choose?
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- There are more holiday products than meets the eye! Stampin’ Up! has a Holiday Carryover List (items that are available for purchase but not in the current catalogs). It includes the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set (Wood-Mount or Clear-Mount) and coordinating Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies.
- I used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to scibble out a few swirls to hang the lights on.
- Each tree light is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the tiniest of the Pearl Basic Jewels add texture and definition!
- The bold “deck the halls” sentiment is from Christmas Messages (Wood-Mount or Clear-Mount, one of My Holiday Catalog 10 Favorite Things.

Talk about a WOW holiday card…..This one is SERIOUSLY a CASE! I think the hardest part to this card is going to be drawing in the string for the ornament to hang from. LOVE your card Mary!
