A sparkly heart and shimmery Classic Pair of Ice Skates create a holiday design in soft shades of peach, coral and silver. Floss or crochet thread adds dimension and texture to the skates. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a holiday slimline design from our Christmas ’22 Collection.
Cut the tops of the Classic Pair of Ice Skates from the pale peach
Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6×6. Cut the base from the darker peach sheet. Cut the runners from the silver 6×6.
Add the realistic look of laces with floss or crochet thread. Pull another strand of floss or thread over a block of beeswax or paraffin to coat and stiffen the fibers and add some shape to the loops. Tie the bow and tape the ends behind the skates.
Cut the small and medium Starburst Snowflake Discs from the Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad silver sheet. We’re using the inner offcuts here.
Cut the sparkly peach Delicate Pastels Glitter Pad 6×6 with the three largest Double Stitch Happy Heart dies.
Prep the new Keep Christmas Curled Script die with scrunched waxed paper to help release the delicate letters and little pieces. Notice how the dots for the letter i in “Christmas” and “in” are created by the other sections of the greeting so we don’t need to find – and attach – that elusive teeny tiny circle. Very smart, thanks Dave Brethauer!
Attach the hearts to a white slimline card (3-⅝” x 8-½”) – slightly offset so a bit of the white card peeks through. Attach the other diecuts – use foam dots for left skate. Use a tiny drop of glue to attach the center of the bow to the card.
Add clear Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Slimline cards have plenty of space for large designs – and they’ll stand out in a crowd of holiday mail. Thanks for visiting – see you on Thursday!
