Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
A card for Christmas 2026! My goal is to be ahead of the game next year: I hope to make Christmas cards here and there between now and next November.
Card Face:
- I inserted the card face into the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.
- I removed the paper from the folder and ran a silver ink pad lightly over the raised surfaces.
- I secured silver metallic thread to the back of the cardface, at the top left.
- I wound the thread around the card face 5 times, allowing it to gather at the top and fan out at the bottom. I snipped the thread and secured the end with scotch tape.
Other:
- I had remnants of a patterned metallic silver paper that I used to die-cut the trees and the sentiment.
Assembly
- I put dimensional foam on the back of the card face and centered it on the card base.
- I glued the three trees in place as shown.
- I glued the sentiment in place, allowing the left-hand side to overlap the silver threads.
- I added a small silver pearl to the top of each tree.
Final Thoughts:
The silver ink used to highlight the embossing has a gorgeous gleam, and the die-cut silver elements on the card have a shine: the contrast between the two is fabulous.
