Ink and Inspiration - Make it sparkle!
Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Melva Peters from Canada.
The theme this month is "Make It Sparkle!" I created this card featuring the Tidings and Trimmings Bundle from the Annual Catalogue and used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper for my sparkle. I hadn't noticed this paper in the catalogue until recently and it was perfect for the sparkle I needed!
I love this bundle with the detailed star dies and the adorable stocking! Perfect for your holiday cards!
Instructions
- Cut Evening Evergreen cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to form card base.
- Cut Cherry Cobbler cardstock 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and adhere to card base with Stampin' Seal.
- Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base using Stampin' Seal.
- Cut Evening Evergreen cardstock 1" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base about 2" from bottom using Stampin' Seal.
- Cut Gold Metallic Specialty Paper 3/4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the Evening Evergreen strip using Stampin' Seal.
- Cut out solid star from Evening Evergreen cardstock.
- Cut out detailed star from Gold Metallic Specialty Paper - note, you may have to run this through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine quite a few times as there is a film on the back that makes it a bit tough to cut through. You can try to peel off this film before you cut to make it easier.
- Adhere the detailed star to the Evening Evergreen star using Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.
- Stamp stocking using Cherry Cobbler ink on Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
- Cut out with stocking die.
- Adhere a small piece of Gold Metallic Specialty Paper to the cuff and cut around edge.
- Tie a small bow from the Gold Trim and adhere to the stocking with a Glue Dot.
- Adhere the Star to the right hand side of the card base using Dimensionals.
- Adhere stocking on the star using Dimensionals.
- Stamp sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink.
- Punch out using Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch
- Punch out piece from Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
- Cut the Cherry Cobbler postage stamp in half lengthwise and adhere one piece to the top and bottom of the stamped sentiment piece using Stampin' Seal.
- Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
- Adhere Gilded Gems.
