Countdown to Christmas 2021 #10

The 10th project in my Countdown to Christmas 2021 series is this card from my recent Special Christmas Cards online Class.

At my Special Christmas Cards Class, each attendee makes three cards. These are the sorts of cards that you would give in person, rather than post.

It has become tradition over the years that one project at this annual class is a poinsettia design. This year’s design has a White and Gold theme.

Using the Poinsettia Dies, the shapes are cut from Vellum and the 12×12 Gold Shimmer Vellum. This Gold Shimmer Vellum is on the Last Chance list, so make sure you grab a pack.

A swoosh of the Glittered Organdy Ribbon is added for the poinsettia to sit on. If you want to learn how to create a swoosh like this, take a look at my Top Tip, Tricks & Techniques video on it.

Each of the layers is stuck together with a combination of Glue Dots and Dimensionals. The attendees could decide how much depth they wanted to give their project.

Once the poinsettia was sat over the ribbon, some Wonderful Gems were added to each corner and one in the centre. The Wonderful Gems are also on the Last Chance Products List.

As well as the cards, the attendees made a box for the card to go in and decorated them as they liked. This is the one I created for this project.

Sparkling Butterfly

As we fly into a new month, today I’m sharing this sparkling butterfly project .

It takes advantage of the pretty In Color Shimmer Vellum.

Using the Expressions in Ink DSP as a diagonal piece across the background, I chose my colours to match.

These are Polished Pink and Pale Papaya from the In Color Collection.

A splatter background is created using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set.

The Shimmer Vellum is cut out using the Brilliant Wings Dies and the butterflies are carefully layered together using Fine-Tip Glue down the body.

To hide the seam of the DSP, a length of the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon lays across the project.

The sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set.

Using Mini Dimensionals,  the butterfly is raised up. These are carefully positioned behind the larger areas where there is a double layer of Vellum.

Finally, some Rhinestones add a touch more sparkle.
