Christmas Lights Heat Embossed Z Fold Card / Stamping With Melva

Christmas Lights Heat Embossed Z Fold Card

Thursday, 10 November 2022

Time for a bit of an untraditional holiday card using Tahitian Tide! I had fun creating this Z fold card using the Stampin' Up! Christmas Lights Bundle. I shared this card as part of an Instahop with fellow demonstrators. If you're on Instahop and don't follow me, check me out at @stampingwithmelva and click the follow button. You can check out all of the amazing projects in the InstaHop as well!

Isn't this a fun card! I embossed the snowflakes using White embossing powder before cutting them out and then layered a white background behind them.
