Creations Galore Gal, Julie Stroobants: Christmas Cards

Hello paper crafters! Today we're bringing you two cards created by Creations Galore customer, Julie Stroobants. Julie creates cards, scrapbooks, and altered projects. She's known to use lots of flowers, die cuts, and bling! The two cards below are more clean and simple compared to most of her projects, but we just couldn't resist sharing. Take a look: 


A little close up: 


Julie added different patterned papers to olive green cardstock, keeping the same card style, stamp design, and color combo.


The white shimmer cardstock was cut from a Spellbinders die and stamped with this gorgeous stamp. She colored the image with Copic markers. Because the marker is alcohol based, the ink dries well on glossy and shiny papers -- No smearing! She completed each card with some ribbon and rhinestones. 


Beautiful! Thank you so much Julie for sharing your Christmas cards with us! 

We'd love to see what you're creating! Stop into Creations Galore and show us some of your projects. You just might find yourself featured on our blog!
