Hello again everyone hope you're all keeping well and having as much fun with all of your crafting projects as I am. Those of you who know me will know that I absolutely love making christmas projects and here is another very quick and easy, but i think a very pretty little card.
Lets get started..........
So todays card starts with a piece of thick whisper white card which measures 4 1/8" x 8 1/4" scored on longside in half, giving you a very cute 4 1/8" square card. I've cut a piece of thick whisper white measuring 4" x 4" and stamped a few of the images from the 'Snowflake wishes' stampset on to it, then glued it flat to the inside of the card.
Now I've cut a piece of the Balmy blue glimmer paper so it measures 4" x 4" and then glued it flat to the front of your card. The next step is using a piece of thick whisper white cardstock and die cutting the large snowflake from the 'So many snowflakes' dies.
As you can see from the picture it's a die that leaves an apperture rather than cutting the whole snowflake out. Now I've placed dimensionals all over the back of the snowflake piece and then put a little wet glue onto the dimensional after the backing has been removed, this will just make sure that the dimensional gets a grip on to the glimmer paper. This whole piece is now attached to the front of the card flat with wet glue. I've now cut myself a piece of thick whisper white cardstock that measures 3/4" x 4 1/8" and using balmy blue ink I,ve stamped the sentiment, now using the Banners pick a punch I've punched both ends of the card piece giving me a nice and even punched banner. I've now given this sentiment piece a slight curve and then attached it to the front of the card using wet glue just on the two ends giving it a bit of depth. I've used 1 of the largest beautiful 'Blue adhesive backed gems' and placed it into the middle of my snowflake. Card finished, it's a very quick and easy card to put together which if you have a lot of cards to make this christmas is going to be very helpful.
