Instructions: Card size is 7 x 5”. Score and fold 7 x 10” white cardstock at 5” on the long side to create card base. Using the Filigree Accents Die, cut the bottom edge of the card front. Using the same die, cut again from 7 x 5” Luxe Gold cardstock. Adhere the gold behind the white slightly offset to create a golden shadow. Cut Luxe Gold cardstock 7 x 2 7/8” and white cardstock 7 7/8 x 2 3/4”. Dry emboss the white using any embossing folder and adhere to the gold. Then adhere to the card front as shown. Cut Luxe Gold cardstock 7 x 4 7/8” and 7 x 2 7/8” and cut sheet 9B 6 7/8 x 4 3/4 and 6 7/8 x 2 3/4”. Adhere the designer paper to the Luxe Gold pieces and adhere to the inside of the card. Cut white cardstock 6 3/4 x 2 5/8”, stamp the sentiment ‘Wishing You A Wonderful Christmas” from the Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp set using Real Red ink, use a corner snowflake punch to create the decorative corners and adhere to the inside of the card.

Stamp the images from the Festive Berry & Birdies Cling Stamp set on watercolor paper using Archival Olive ink and color using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers – Blue Gray, Warm Gray 2, Carmine Red, Light Green and Pale Green. Stamp the image with the three birdies a second time using Archival Jet Black ink and color just the birds with the Zig markers on this one. Diecut the images a second time from white cardstock and adhere to the stamped images using dries clear adhesive. Diecut the three colored birdies, cut two more times from white cardstock, adhere together and adhere to the full diecut image. Lightly shape, spray with Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray – Sparkle and adhere Minnie Pearl prills to the image with the single bird. When dry, adhere to the card front using dimension squares and hot glue.

Stamp the poinsettias and holly leaves from the Poinsettia & Holly Clusters Cling Stamp set on Real Red and Garden Green cardstock using Real Red and Garden Green ink, diecut using the coordinating dies and shape using the coordinating mold. Using a stylus from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, cup the centers and adhere two flowers together and one holly using dries clear adhesive to create the poinsettias.

Heartfelt Creations - A Christmas Lantern

 Hi and welcome!

Today I'm sharing another card with an aperture using the beautiful Festive Christmas Collection. 

Instructions: Card size is 5 x 7”. Score and fold 10 x 7” white cardstock at 5” on the long side to create card base. Cut Luxe Silver cardstock 2x at 4 7/8 x 6 7/8” and sheet 9B from the Festive Christmas Paper Collection 2x at 4 3/4 x 6 3/4”. Ink the edges of the designer papers with Real Red ink. Adhere one Luxe Silver piece and one designer paper to the card front using removable tape. Using the plain oval from the Simply Classic Oval Frame Die, cut an aperture in the card front. It will usually only cut through two of the layers but will leave a deep impression on the cardstock so you can remove the two mat layers, lay the die on the impression on the card base and run through the diecutting machine one more time. You will wind up with perfectly aligned layers to adhere permanently with dries clear adhesive. Adhere the second set of mat layers to the inside of the card. Using the third, fourth and fifth largest Simply Classic Oval Frame Dies, cut from white cardstock and Luxe Silver cardstock. Cut the corner pieces from the same set 2x each from white cardstock and 2x each from Luxe Silver cardstock. Sponge the white diecuts with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear adhesive. When dry, adhere to the silver diecuts slightly offset and adhere to the card front as shown using dimensional dots.

Stamp the image from the Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp set on heavy white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and color using Stampin’ Blends Markers – Light and Dark Granny Apple green, Light and Dark Real Red, Light and Dark Smokey Slate, Dark Daffodil Delight and Light So Saffron. Diecut using the coordinating die. Diecut again from white cardstock and from Luxe Silver Cardstock. Adhere the white behind the white for stability, then adhere the silver slightly offset. Lightly shape using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and adhere to the card front over the aperture using hot glue.

Stamp the ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Christmas Holly Accents Cling Stamp Set on white cardstock using Real Red Ink and diecut using the coordinating die. Diecut again from white cardstock and adhere the layers together using dries clear adhesive. Adhere to the inside of the card so that it shows through the bottom of the opening.

Sponge the lantern and the sentiment with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent glitter.
