SUPPLIES
Stamps: Nutcracker Magic stamps
Dies: Nutcracker Magic dies, In Frames: Oval Dies
Cardstock: Stampers’ Select White, Soft Stone
Ink: True Black
Other: White Gelly Roll Pen, Foam Tabs, Copic Sketch Markers, Bee Creative Precision Glue
TIPS:
- Use the In Frames: Oval Dies to create emphasis on the focal point of the card front.
- A rounded oval frame is softer and more feminine than a square or rectangle for the feature ballerina on this card.
- Use the greenery swags in the Nutcracker Magic set to “frame” the design and create a storybook look.
- Use a fine-tip black marker to add specks around the tiny sparkle design elements to unite them together.

TIPS:
- Add adhesive gems to Clara’s skirt for sparkle and shine.
- Don’t hesitate to try using two different hot foil plates on one card! Just keep the scale in mind when choosing your design.

TIPS:
- Use a lighter color of ink for the outline of the line-art images for a softer look.
- Try adding glossy accents to the berries for extra detail.
- Use the foliage in the opposite corners for a festive touch.

TIPS:
- Heat embossing the skirt in white on vellum and trim out to give the illusion of a real tutu.
- Stencil a pattern lightly behind the ballerina for added detail.
- Use a white gel pen on the berries once the glossy accent has dried for added interest.
