12 Projects of Christmas 2024 - Day 6 - Happy Christmas Season

Hello and welcome to day six of our festive 12 Projects of Christmas series! Do you have a favourite design in the series so far? Our sixth instalment, by the fab Rebecca, is great for the contemporary Christmas colours lovers! Rebecca uses a combination of the Elegant Christmas and the Winter Wonderland collections to great effect for this stunning creation. Read on for full instructions on how to make this beautiful 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 using dries-clear glue. Trim a sheet of white card to 7½” square, edge with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of foiled paper to 7¼” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue.

          2 Create a 6½”-square panel from silver mirror card and affix to the card using foam pads. Create a 6¼”-square panel from Crystal White pearl card and emboss using the Swirly Snowflakes embossing folder. Affix to the card using dries-clear glue.

          3 Stamp out the Snowflake Flurry Frame onto Crystal White pearl card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using On the Lake embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating die. Apply dies-clear glue to the snowflakes and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the centre of the card using foam pads.

          4 Using the circle dies in the set, die-cut the smallest two from Crystal White pearl card and then the largest one from silver mirror card. Stamp out the sentiment onto the smallest one and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Layer all onto the card using foam pads.

          5 Stamp out four medium and two large Christmas roses onto Crystal White pearl paper and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Ink the centres using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. Once dry, apply dots of dries-clear glue to the petals and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Layer two of the same size together. Die-cut some stamens for the centres from Crystal White pearl card and glitter using Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Add to the centre of the flowers with a sparkler, then affix to the card using 3D glue gel.

          6 Die-cut three snowflakes from the Snowflake Flurry Frame set out of Crystal White pearl card. Ink using Tumbled Glass Oxide ink, then tuck in behind the flowers using 3D glue gel. Cut out some of the festive foliage and tuck in behind the flowers using 3D glue gel. Finally, add a few crystals to the opposite corners.
