September CAS Christmas Challenge - Sparkle and/or Shine

Hi everyone.  It's the start of the September CAS Christmas Challenge.  This month is hosted by the super talented Hideko (Papercraft Boutique).  She would like to see your CAS Christmas cards with a little sparkle or shine (or both!).
Nothing says Christmas like glitter! :)  I used two dies from AliExpress to make a very quick and easy Christmas card.  The berry and branch is one set that I die-cut from green and red glitter paper.  I tied the pieces together with a thin, 1/4" thick red satin ribbon.  I also die-cut the Joy sentiment from the red glitter paper and added a strip of it on the side.

We are so happy to have JoAnn (Crafty Nana's Blog) as our Guest Designer this month.  Welcome JoAnn!!

Please check out the challenge blog to see the beautiful, sparkly, shiny CAS Christmas cards from our Guest Designer and our wonderfully talented team.

    Love your card Loll. The glitter paper really makes the pretty mistletoe die pop. I like red strip along the side also.

    Such beautiful leaves and berries using the fabulous red and green glitter paper Loll, and love the added strip down the side and the sentiment cut from the glitter card too. I see further down you say you used green alcohol ink to colour silver glitter card which has worked excellently. A wonderful card. x

    Loll this is exquisite - such delicate die cuts, beautifully displayed with the wee bow. The glitter strip and sentiment finish the card with flare and beauty

    Wow, I just realized that only sparkle and shine elements were used for your card, Loll! The berries, the leaves, the sentiment, and the side strip all have pretty sparkle and the tiny satin ribbon is shiny/shimmery. Love the beautiful design with the great choice (size and font style) of the sentiment die and the strip on the side!

    Your sparkle shows up beautifully on this, Loll. It can be hit or miss trying to get that to show. Gorgeous card with the simple branches tied with ribbon. The sparkly border and sentiment are just the right finishing touches.

    WOW! The glow on your card is really gorgeous. The use of only glitter cardboard allowed to raise the degree of glitter to the very top.
