12 Projects of Christmas 2024 - Day 12 - Magic and Sparkle

Welcome to the twelfth, and last, day of our highly-popular 12 Projects of Christmas series! We hope that you've enjoyed the 2024 instalment and that you've found lots of great ideas for you to recreate. For the last project of the series, Rebecca has created this magical, sparkly card with fur-lined ice skates and pretty starry flourishes. The deep, dark navy combined with bright white and silver results in an elegant, timeless finish. Read on for full instructions on how to make this glittery Christmas card. 
As with every tutorial in this series, we've created FREE project sheets and you will find the link to today's PDF download sheet at the bottom of the instructions below. 
What you'll need:

How to make: 

1 Trim a sheet of silver mirror card to 7¾” square and affix to the card blank using dries-clear glue. Trim white cardstock to 7½” square and affix to the card using foam pads. Trim snowflake vellum to 7½” square and affix to the card using dries clear glue. Trim another sheet of white card to 7” square and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen. Cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.

2 Create a 6¾”-square panel from Lapis Lazuli pearl card. Stamp out the sentiment from the Winter Woodland Trees set using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Add a self-adhesive sparkle to the stars and stamp some of the starry accents using a white inkpad. Apply dots of dries-clear glue around the stars and cover in Après Ski Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.

3 Die-cut two ice skates from Lapis Lazuli pearl card. Stamp one of the patterns onto the skate using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Sparkle embossing powder. Glitter the ice skates using Crystal Crush and Sleigh Bells Sparkelicious glitter.

4 Cut four small lengths of ribbon and attach to the tops of the skates using 3D glue gel. add a pom pom onto the end of each ribbon. Die-cut two skate tops from white card and two small pieces of faux fur. Affix these to the skates using 3D glue gel. Tie two small bows and add these onto the skates using 3D glue gel, as shown.

5 Cut a length of white satin ribbon and create a loop. Affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Affix an ice skate onto the end of each piece of ribbon using foam pads. Tie a double bow from white organza ribbon and affix to the loop of ribbon using 3D glue gel. Add a sparkler to the centre to finish.
