On with today's card an 8 x 8 Christmas Card
Product Used:- (which are also links to Phill's website) :-)
Teal Card Stock
Ivory Card Stock
Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink
Decadent Teal Twinkles
Christmas Holly Background Stamp
Christmas Holly Sentiment Stamp
Sue Wilson Die - Caribbean Collection - St Kitts
Spellbinder Die Create-a-Flake Three
Creative Expressions Clear Micro Glass Beads
A4 Self Adhesive Sheets
Seam Binding
Small & Medium Dazzlers
First I made an 8 x 8 card in Teal by cutting 20cm x 20cm sq
and 20cm x 23cm
score and join on the reverse
Matting & Layering:
19.5cm sq Ivory Card
19cm sq Teal Card
18.5cm sq Ivory Card
Then attach all these flat to the card.
Once this was dry I cut a piece of the Self Adhesive Sheeet to 18cm sq.
After carefully removing the backing sheet, after carefully removing the backing sheet I covered the card with Micro Beads. ( I used a shallow box for this then poured the surplus beads back into the jar). I then attached this to the card.
Sentiment:
Using the 2 largest dies I cut these out in Ivory and backed onto Teal Card.
With the 3rd largest I cut this out in Ivory and stamped the Sentiment using Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink. Then attached these to the card using pads.
Finishing Touches:
Using dies Create-a-Flake 3 I cut several out in both Ivory and Teal, shaped and attached to the card. Then added a small Dazzler to centres.
Making a triple bow and swags with Teal Seam Binding I attached this to the card and added a Medium Dazzler.
Finally I edged around the outer edge of the sentiment with Decadent Teal Twinkles and Glamour Dust around the inner and snowflakes.

Hi Barb, ooooooo gorgeous card! Beautiful how you have micro beaded the Holly background. The closest I have is the Dotted Frond background stamp so at least I can compromise...lol! I love the St Kitts die, along with the Christmas holly sentiment stamp and the colour Teal is one of my favourite colours. It's just lush! "Thank you Barb" xx Love Karen xx
