YOU WILL NEED:

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Score and fold the white A3 cardstock in half to create an A4 card base. Place the largest die from the 8x8" Basic Rectangle die set just over the fold and die cut. Using the next die size down in the set, cut from Crystal White card, then add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter around the four sides. Next, matt and layer onto a piece of patterned paper from the Christmas Fashionista paper pad, then attach it to the base card with foam pads. 

2 Repeat the second part of Step 1 for the next layer, only this time using smaller Basic Rectangle dies from the set. Secure onto the base card with foam pads.  

3 Trim a piece of white card to 14x17cm, then stamp and emboss the main image onto it using the Versafine Clair Black inkpad and WOW Clear Gloss powder. For the clouds, draw scallops onto a piece of white card and fussy cut to make a stencil. Place on top of the image and blend the Tumbled Glass Oxide ink next to the scallops; keep moving the stencil about the card and just blend the ink. Next, stamp and heat-emboss the Sleigh and Reindeer images from the set into the middle of the clouds using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder. Finally, colour the rest of the stamped image with the marker pens and add Silver Frost, Winter Wonderland, and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. 

4 Stamp and heat-emboss the image again, once for the village and twice for the large tree. Fussy cut the trees, then colour and add Mystical Moonlight Sparkelicious glitter before attaching with Pinflair glue. For the village scene, fussy cut the church and houses then glitter as before. Secure into place with Pinflair glue for a 3D effect.

5 Matt and layer the stamped image onto red mirror card. Attach the red ribbon and bow to the top right-hand corner and secure down the topper with foam pads. 

6 Stamp, heat-emboss, die-cut, and colour the small reindeer using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder onto white card and attach with Pinflair glue. 

7 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment using the WOW Metallic Clear inkpad and Metallic Silver embossing powder onto white cardstock. Matt and layer onto red mirror card and attach with foam pads.

 

 

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

YOU WILL NEED:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to fit the base card, then add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter around the four sides. Next, matt and layer on top of this a piece of patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas paper pad, then attach it to the main card. For the next layer, trim a sheet of Vista Mirror card and Crystal White pearl card, with the edges glittered as before, and a sheet of patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas paper pad. Finally, attach all three together and secure them onto the main card with foam pads.

2 Using the Large Oval die set, cut the fifth, seventh and eighth die from Crystal White pearl card and the sixth one from Vista mirror card. Glitter the edges of the fifth and seventh die-cut shape using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer the largest white oval die-cut and the Vista mirror card oval together and attach to the base card with foam pads. 

3 Stamp and heat-emboss the main image onto the smallest white oval die-cut shape using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder. Next, die-cut a small circle for the moon, hold it in place on the image and blend the Tumbled Glass Oxide ink around the circle. Next, stamp and heat-emboss the Sleigh and Reindeer from the set into the middle of the moon using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder. Finally, colour the rest of the stamped image with marker pens and add Winter Wonderland and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Finish by adding Mystical Moonlight Sparkelicious glitter to the tree.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss, colour, and fussy cut the tree twice, the church and houses once, and just the houses once. Glitter as before and attach to the main image using Pinflair for a 3D effect. Matt and layer onto the leftover white oval die-cut shape and adhere to the main card with foam pads.

5 For a starry night sky effect, secure individual Sparkling Stars Sparkelicious embellishments onto the stamped topper using the Art Glitter Dries-Clear PVA glue. 

6 Finish by attaching the bow in place, as shown, with Pinflair glue and secure a jewel from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box into the middle.

With Love at Christmas

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to fit the base card, add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter around the four sides, and then attach it to the main card. Matt and layer onto a patterned paper from the Christmas Festive Fashion paper pad. 

2 Repeat the process in Step 1 for the next layer, using the Christmas Fashionista Paper Pad this time. Secure the ribbon, bow, and large jewel to the top right-hand corner before attaching the topper to the base card with foam pads. 

3 Line the Christmas Village Scene stamp against the edge of a piece of white A4 cardstock and stamp and heat-emboss using the Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder. Using the Large Circle die set, place the eighth die, so it overhangs the image and die-cut. Die-cut a small circle for the moon, hold it in place and blend the Oxide ink around the circle to create the blue sky. 

4 Using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder, stamp and heat-emboss the sleigh and reindeer image flying through the moon. Next, stamp and heat-emboss the footprints using the WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder. Finally, colour the image with assorted marker pens and add Snowball and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. 

5 Stamp and heat-emboss the Christmas tree onto acetate, working from the back. Add Silver Gilt Sparkelicious glitter, then, when completely dry, fussy cut and attach to the main image with Pinflair. Add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter around the edges of the topper. Die-cut the seventh die from the set in red mirror card and attach the stamped image on top. Matt and layer onto a larger Crystal White Circle die-cut circle, then add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter to the edges. Use foam pads to attach the panel to the main card. 

6 Secure the small jewels from the Beautiful Blue Sparkles set onto the Christmas tree and stars from the Frosty Christmas Sequin collection onto the background. 

7 Stamp, heat-emboss, fussy cut, and colour the poinsettia from the box kit. Add Red Velvet Sparkelicious glitter, use the Luscious Yellows Sparkles for the middle of the flowers, and then secure into place with Pinflair glue. Next, stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment, mat and layer onto red mirror card and attach with foam pads to finish.
