This year I’m sorely tempted by the Gold, Copper, Silver and Champagne colours in the Year of Cheer Suite. When I think of Christmas cards I tend think of the traditional red and green colours, but this year I really am thinking of sending something a little different.
Check out this video from Stampin’ Up! to see what’s in the suite.
All of the metallic colours will look great with colours from the Regals Collection such as Night of Navy. And, you can see this for yourself in the sweet and simple card I have to share below.
I have a lot of cards to send this year, so anything that looks pretty but is quick and easy to make, is going to make things a lot easier for me. This card fits perfectly into those requirements.
Basic Instructions to make the card are as follows:
- Use a 21.0 x 14.9 cm piece of Thick Whisper White, score it at 10.5 cm on the longest edge and then fold in half and burnish the fold with a Bone Folder to make the card base.
- Using a 10.0 x 14.4 cm piece of Night of Navy stamp small snowflakes in Night of Navy all over and then glue to the card front.
- Glue a silver snowflake from a pack of the Foil Snowflakes (12 each of silver and gold) to the card front.
- Stamp the larger snowflake in Pool Party onto a piece of Shimmery White Paper and once dry stamp the Joy sentiment in Night of Navy over the top.
- Punch out the sentiment using a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch and then adhere to the centre of the snowflake using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Stamp the larger snowflake in Night of Navy into the inside of the card and also onto the envelope. See photo below.
I’m certainly going to be playing with this suite some more this week so I’ll be back with more projects as soon as I am able.
