I am playing in the CAS Christmas Card September Sparkle and/or Shine Challenge
hosted by my dear friend, the very CAS creative Hideko!
We all Love Sparkle and Shine for the Holiday Season!
I had so much fun with Sparkle and Shine Christmas card
that I made Four cards for my stash:-)
Here is the close up showing the sparkle and shine but way more sparkly IRL!
I began by using SU Basic White 110# cardstock for the Altenew "Organic Linen" 3D EB Folder background, which was my 1st time to use the 3D Folder. Also the 1st time I used the Altenew Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock 120# to die cut the
Ranger T.H. "Woodland Dies Trees".
After die cutting the tree with the glitter cardstock I punched out the center pieces
with a toothpick.
Next used the same die to die cut a SU Cucumber Crush cardstock tree and
punched out the center pieces to inlay into the Glittery tree.
Next I die cut another tree with Strathmore Mixed Media 140# paper
keeping all the pieces in place.
Then used Connect Glue to attach the MM tree to the back of the Glittery Tree.
I repeated and added another MM tree with Connect Glue for a
nice thick 3 layer Glittery Tree!
There was a lot of Inlayed pieces going on, but worth the effort.
I cut a narrow strip of the Altenew Dazzling Diamond Glitter paper and die cut
the Joyful from SU Red Glitter Paper using the CUTplorations
"Christmas Sentiments Dies" set and cut off the "ful" to make the JOY fit.
I die cut 3 more Joyfuls, trimmed and attached with glue.
Glued the Glitter Trim, Glittery Tree and JOY to the background and
attached all to SU Basic White Cardstock and Done!
Not exactly...I Loved the card and all the Glitter so made 3 more cards:-)
Whew...that was a lot of die cutting, gluing and inlaying, etc...But a beautiful
glittery way to add to my 2022 Christmas Stash:-)
Thank you Hideko for a really fun and inspiring Challenge, my friend!
