When it comes to holiday crafting, there’s no such thing as too much sparkle! ✨ This stunning card by Melissa Phillips combines glitter, foil, and layered die cuts to create a piece bursting with charm and personality.
Melissa paired the Winter Pine Hot Foil Plate with vibrant red foil and Crystal Stickles glitter to add a touch of holiday magic. Let’s dive into the steps and bring this beauty to life!
Step 1: Foil the Background
•Use the Winter Pine Hot Foil Plate with red foil to foil a piece of Sweet Blush Cardstock.
•Die cut the foiled cardstock with the large die from the Love to Layer: Garnished Edges Die Set.
Step 2: Add a Bow
•Wrap red scrunched seam binding vertically down the center of the die cut panel. Tie a double bow near the top for a festive touch.
Step 3: Create a Stamped Border
•Die cut the Border Bling: Tin Stitch Die from white cardstock.
•Using the Sprigs & Sprays: Holiday Stamp Set, stamp floral accents in the upper left and lower right corners with Scarlet Jewel, Summer Sunrise, and Simply Chartreuse ink.
Step 4: Assemble the Base Layers
•Adhere the foiled die-cut panel to the center of the stamped Border Bling frame. Attach this assembled panel to your card base made from Stamper’s Select White Cardstock.
Step 5: Add the Sentiment
•Die cut the Reflections: May Die from white cardstock.
•Stamp “Merry Christmas” from the This is Big Sentiments: Merry Christmas Stamp Set using Olive Twist Ink for the main sentiment and Pure Poppy Ink for the secondary sentiment.
•Adhere the sentiment to the center of the card.
Step 6: Add Floral Details
•Die cut flowers and leaves from the Into the Blooms: Wreath Die Set. Sponge ink on the die cuts to add color, assemble the flowers, and adhere them to the card.
•Add die cut branches from the Rustic Wood Star Die Set for texture.
Step 7: Final Touches
•Finish the card with sequins, Crystal Stickles glitter, and a sprinkle of gold glitter cardstock accents for a dazzling, festive look.
