Christmas in July

Hello again everyone, can you believe it's tuesday again!!!!!!.

 Well it is and this week I thought we'd do something different, and do Christmas in July. Yes I know it's only July but those of you that know me, will know that I absolutely LOVE making christmas cards, and as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to pre order items from the August - December catalogue, which will be released to all of you lovely followers on 4th August. If like myself you love getting your hands on products early then why not join my team, and you could order some of the new bits for your starter kit. If you're interested then please don't hesitate to contact me and I can tell you how.

I was so excited when I received my pre - order that I had to get making, and this is the first card I've made using a really lovely bundle called Snowflake wishes, after all who doesn't love a snowflake on a christmas card? I've also used the Snowflake dsp which is absolutely exquisite.

Let's get started with this very easy to assemble but very gorgeous christmas card.

Materials needed:

Highland heather cardstock

1pc - 10 1/2cm x A4 length (uk) scored in half for card base

1pc - 10.1cm x 14.5cm front panel of card

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 10.1cm x 14.5cm for inside card panel

Snowflake dsp - coming soon

1pc - 9cm x 12.2 cm for under front card panel

Balmy blue glimmer paper - coming soon

1pc - approx  5cm x 9cm for die cutting 2 snowflakes

Snowflake splendor 1/4" ribbon - coming soon

1pc - approx  14cm long

Snowflake adhesive - backed embellishments - coming soon

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish card base

2. With your 2 panles for the inside and front of your card cut to size, you now need to die cut using the die that makes an apperture on your card piece, making sure that you do this centrally on both of your card pieces.

3. With the white piece of cardstock, for the inside of your card you need to emboss some snowflakes on two of the corners, using the embossing die form the Snow time dies (see picture below). Glue this piece to the inside of your card.

4. Having cut your dsp to size you now need to lay it with the front die cut panel piece sitting on top and do the stamping of your sentiment onto the dsp through the apperture making sure you get it lined up centrally, you can if you prefer mark through the apperture where you need to stamp and then take the front panel piece away before stamping, it's whatever is easiest for you to do.

5. Your dsp piece can be glued flat onto the front of your card base.

6. Glue your apperture panel over the top of the dsp piece using dimensionals so that it's raised, giving the panel depth and interest.

7. Die cut 2 x snowflakes from your glimmer paper and then glue these on flat.

8. Attach your ribbon using 3 glue dots one either end and one in the middle.

9. All that remains left to do now is placing 5 x Snowflake adhesive - backed embellishments onto your card front.

This is as I said an easy card to assemble but I really loved th finish of it. 

Hope you liked the card, I'm sure when the products are available you're going to love them as much as I do.
