Project Tutorial

Step 1 – Cut the Basic Gray cardstock to 8 1/2″ W x 5 1/2″ H. Score evenly in half at 4 1/4″ and fold. Use your Bone Folder to burnish the fold to get a crisp edge.

Step 2 – Cut the Silver layer to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and set it aside. TIP: To have less waste of the Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper, BEFORE adhering to your Basic Gray base, use a die or an X-ACTO knife to cut out the center – about 3 1/4″ W x 4 1/2″ H. Save this for another project.

Step 3 – Cut the Basic White cardstock to 3 1/2″ W x 4 3/4″ H and set it aside.

Step 4 – Cut the silver & white piece from the Snowflake Magic DSP to 3 5/8″ W x 4 7/8″ H. TIP: Because this is the piece you will emboss, you want to cut it first BEFORE embossing. This particular embossed design is difficult to cut after the fact and tends to want to shred the side of your DSP.

Step 5 – Emboss the silver & white DSP layer with your embossing folder.

Step 6 – Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 3″ W x 3″ H. Using the Handmade Tag punch, punch out the tag.

Step 7 – Using the Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Pad and the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Stars at Night stamp set, stamp the sentiment on the tag. Using the stamp with 4 stars on it, inking only one star on the end, stamp that single star at the top and bottom of the tag. Set the tag aside.

Step 8 – Remove the release sheet from the Silver Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and adhere it to the front of the Basic Gray card base, making sure to get it in the center.

Step 9 – Adhere the Silver and White embossed DSP to one side of the 3 1/2″ W x 4 3/4″ H Basic White cardstock.

Step 10 – Using the Foam Adhesive Sheets, cut a piece that is 3 3/8″ W x 4 5/8″ H. Adhere this to the other side of the 3 1/2″ W x 4 3/4″ H Basic White cardstock layer.

Step 11 – Remove the release sheet from the back of the Foam Adhesive Sheet and adhere it to the Silver Glimmer Paper.

Step 12 – Cut a piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon about 15″ long. Run some strips of Seal+ in the area the ribbon will lay on the back of the sentiment tag. Fold the ribbon and lay it across the back of the sentiment tag to get the desired look from the front.

Step 13 – Using your Stampin’ Dimensionals, put some on the back of your sentiment tag, making sure to get dimensionals along the edges of the ribbon to keep it from moving after the tag is stuck down. Turn the sentiment tag over and adhere it to the front of the card.

Step 14 – Using the Festive Pearls, adorn the front of the card as desired.

Step 15 – Stamp the 4 1/8″ W x 5 3/8″ H Basic White cardstock with the inside sentiment. Using your preferred adhesive, adhere this to the inside of your card.

Step 16 – Using the Blueberry Bushell Stampin’ Pad and the stamps from the Stars at Night stamp set, stamp a greeting on the envelope flap.
