Snowflakes, glitter glue, jewel gemstones and plaids? Yes, when the new Frilling Snowflake Ornament set makes it easy to combine design elements for a simple holiday slimline card. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a basic design you can create for anyone on your list.
Cut the dark red and the bright green 6×6’s from the Berry Red and Lush Green Collections with the solid Frilling Snowflake Ornament die. Cut the red/white/green diagonal stripe from the Jolly Christmas 6×6 too. Punch holes at the top with a ⅛” circle punch, screwpunch or rotating leather punch.
Cut the snowflake and the snowflake ornament from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6×6 sheet. Assemble the red and green ornaments. Tie them with gold cord and curl the cord using the side of a bone folder or the plastic flower shaping tool. For best results, follow the curl of the cord.
Here’s a tip – if you’re trying to match a special color but can’t find the right shade of glittered cardstock – create a custom match with Open Studio Glitter Glue. Diecut Special Merry Christmas from the same red 6×6 used for the ornament. Shake the bottle of Ruby Crystal Glitter Glue and squeeze a blob of it onto scrap paper. Generously finger-press the glitter glue onto the greeting. Just daub it on – don’t try to spread it out. Air-dry it while you assemble the card.
Attach the ornaments to a white slimline card (3-⅝” x 8-½”). Attach the pale green Bright Jewels.
Add the greeting – slightly curved.
The Memory Box 6×6 plaids and prints are designed to coordinate with the 6×6 paper collections, glittered cardstock and mirror cardstock. Mix, match and layer the papers and discover great combinations.
Thanks for visiting – see you again next week!
