Sparkling Spruced Up Christmas Cards

These cards are so sparkly and pretty. The pictures don’t do them justice. I used the Spruced Up Bundle and the Glimmer Specialty Paper.

 
 

The dies in this bundle are so cool. They cut out the outline and the inside separately. I made 2 cards so I could use both pieces to create these glimmery ornaments.

 
 

This Glimmer Specialty Paper is just gorgeous. You get two 12x12 sheets of each color (Evening Evergreen, Very Vanilla and Gold).

 
 

The first card is pretty plain but the glimmer paper is enough to make it beautiful. I cut the ornaments out twice, once with the Evening Evergreen and the second time with the Very Vanilla.

Tips & Instructions:

  • Cherry Cobbler Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Cut the ornaments from the Evening Evergreen and Very Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper. We will use the green border and the vanilla inside.

  • Lay the ornaments out on the white layer to determine placement. Using a Evening Evergreen Marker draw lines for the strings for the ornaments. I used a Stampin’ Write Marker.

  • Adhere the borders and then the insides to the layer.

  • Stamp sentiment on 1 3/4 x 1 piece of Basic White with Cherry Cobbler Ink.

  • Adhere sentiment label to 2 x 1 1/4 piece of green glimmer paper and adhere to white layer.

  • Adhere layer to card base.

  • Add a Festive Pearl to the sentiment.

 
 

On the inside layer stamp sentiment with Cherry Cobbler Ink. Cut the present from the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Paper and adhere to layer.

 
 

I jazzed this card up a little bit by using the lights as the string for the ornaments and added some stars and pearls to them.

Tips & Instructions:

  • Evening Evergreen Card Base - 5 /2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Sahara Sand Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Cut string of lights from the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper.

  • Cut stars from the Very Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper.

  • Lay out your ornaments to determine placement.

  • Cut off a little bit of the string of lights and adhere both pieces to hang the two ornaments.

  • Adhere the vanilla outlines and the green insides of the ornaments.

  • Adhere the stars to the ornaments.

  • Add some Iridescent Pearls to the larger ornament.

  • Stamp sentiment with Evening Evergreen Ink to a 1/2 strip of Basic White Cardstock.

  • Adhere stamped sentiment to 9/16 strip of the green glimmer paper (that’s one tick after the 1/2 mark) Adhere to Sahara Sand Layer.

  • Adhere layer to card base.

 
 

On the inside layer stamp sentiment and tree with Evening Evergreen Ink. Stamp present with Sahara Sand Ink. Oops, I left off the sentiment….pick whatever one you want.
