Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my previous posting. I would also like to thank everyone who took the time to come and say 'Hello' at Doncaster at the weekend, it was lovely to meet you all.
Today's card is an 8 x 8
Products used: (which are linked to items on Phill's Website too) :-)
Plain White Card Stock
Burgundy Card Stock
Double Sided Self Adhesive
Clear Glass Micro Beads
Spellbinder Die

Christmas Holly Stamps
Burgundy Seam Binding
Creative Expressions Self Adhesive Pearls

Starting with an 8 x 8 White Card Blank
Layer 1 Burgundy Card
cut to 7.5 x 7.5
Layer 2 White Card cut to 7 x 7
Layer 3 Burgundy Card cut to 6.75 x 6.75
Layer 4 White Card cut to 6.5 x 6.5
Double Sided Adhesive cut to 6.5 x 6.5 I then glued layers 1-3 onto the White Card.
Next using layer 4 and Stamps from Sentimentally Yours
New Christmas Holly Collection, I chose Aged Mahogany
Distress Ink to create the background.
Taking the piece of Double Sided Adhesive I peeled back the top corners to line up with layer 4 and carefully removed the backing sheet.
I then removed the top sheet to reveal the adhesive and added the Micro Beads. To do this I find it easier to place project into a shallow box or tin before adding beads,
then surplus beads can be poured back into the jar.
I chose a Spellbinder Die and cut the bottom layer in burgundy and the top in white before adding one of the lovely Sentiments from the New Christmas Holly Collection.
I stamped this with Aged Mahogany to match the background.
I added these to the card using pads.
Next I added the Self Adhesive Pearl Strips around the edge.
Finally I added a triple bow (upside down lol) and stick pins.
Happy Crafting .......
