Idea #2
Mosaic tile designs are abundant in the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Papers (page 167 of the annual catalog). Not only are they pretty to look at but they are amazing to the touch. These shiny accents feel like tile and provide a beautiful emphasis to simple cards.
The rose image is not a stamp. It’s part of this specialty designer paper. I paired the image with a simple greeting from the stamp set “Here’s a Card”, silver metallic thread and rhinestones.
Idea #3
If you love fun and sparkly designer papers for the holidays look no further than the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Paper (page 20 of the holiday catalog)! One side has a basic pattern for year-round use; the other side has glittery winter images. Some of the designs in this paper can be cut out using the Snowman Builder Punch (page 19 of the holiday catalog).
I used a several circle punches to cut down on time and punched out my favorite glittery snowman to accent this card. With all the glitter this image includes you won’t need to add a single accessory – unless you want to! 🙂

Hey, thanks for some great tips to use up scraps. I am a very “thrifty” type of stamper…….I hate to throw away any little scrap. Sometimes I have to because they are way too small but………! Thanks for some great ideas to use my scraps. Love your “new” hair-do…..so very nice & soft looking……frames your face so nicely. Thanks again for some great ideas on all types of card making & thanks for sharing!
Hi Karen! Like you, I hate to waste anything and happy to read that you enjoyed this video. Thanks, too, for the kind words about my hair. It’s actually the exact same hairdo I just didn’t tuck it behind my ears. 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
I am in love with the mosaic mood paper!
It’s beautiful isn’t it, Nancy? Thanks for stopping by today to take a look!
What is the dimension of the white base paper under the three peacock foil pieces? You gave the dimensions for the peacock base paper under it and the three smaller cut pieces.
Very nice😊
Diane thanks so much for visiting this video!! The white layer is 4 X 51/4. Hope this helps!!
