Happy Christmas

Good Morning everyone

Today is a batch of very simple Christmas cards.  I wanted to use up the sizzix biodegradable glitter i was given last year which is very very sparkly, which sadly the photos don't pick up, I wanted it to be the focal point with the sentiment.


Approx card size: 3.5x5"   Using sizzix (658204) die to cut my white base card and a lovely Christmas paper which i matted onto the base.  I die cut the Happy using alpha dies from white card and adhered them to some double sided adhesive sheet, i then sprinkled the glitter over the top and rubbed it in, making sure it got in to all the bits on the letters.  I then cut this to a strip and matted onto green cardstock.  Computer printed the word 'Christmas', cut and matted onto more green card.  I then adhered the christmas word flat to the card front and added the glitter word with foam tape for some dimension. 

I added glossy accents to the berries on the backing paper to finish.

Showing it stood up, this make a lovely little shaped card

Version 2

Version 3.  Difference here is that i used an offcut of the glittered adhesive strip under the Christmas word

Version 4 used a blue grey snowflake paper so i used different colour glitter and also added small gems to the snowflakes to finish


These were a great way to using up all the small off cuts of white card for the alpha's

Unknown brand alpha dies
