Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Green Border Layer: 5.5 x 4
Card Face: 5.5 x 5.25 (before tearing)
Scraps of holographic cardstock
Card Face:
- I laid the card face on my Grip Mat and positioned the stencil. I added green ink around the snowflakes as well as the edges – leaving the center white.
- I tore the un-inked edge of the cardstock at approximately 3” and used my scissors to roughen the edges.
Other:
- I die cut a snowflake from the holographic cardstock, as well as a 5.5 x .25” strip.
- I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of cardstock and fussy cut around it.
Assembly
- I glued the green border layer to the card base, centering vertically.
- I added the card face on top of this, lining it up with the green layer on the left-hand side (this did not allow any of the green to show, but since I had added green ink to the edges of the card face, that wasn’t necessary.
- I slipped the narrow holographic strip under the right-hand edge of the card face.
- I added the sentiment as shown.
- I added three small green gems to the white border on the right, and a larger green gem to the center of the snowflake.
Final Thoughts:
I really like the combination of this lovely stencil with the soft green – the result of this mixture is a very pretty card.
