Hello Crafters,

In issue 16 of Chloe's Creative Cards Collection box kit, Chloe created a beautiful stamp-along project featuring cars travelling home with their Christmas trees, all ready to decorate. You will have noticed, however, that within the magazine you don't receive the full instructions on how to create the card. This is because we wanted to bring you this bonus project in the form of a Stamp-Along. To create this fun shaker card, you will need the kit content from the new Chloe's Creative Cards Collection Issue 16 along with a selection of other materials, detailed below and in the downloadable PDF project sheet. You will be embossing, stamping, die-cutting, heat-embossing, and glittering to your heart's content within this Stamp-along, so you're bound to have lots of fun re-creating the look!

Here's a larger shot of the card that we're going to be recreating - look at the glistening snow effect of both the wintry village and the trees atop the travelling cars!

Chloe has created full step-by-step instructions and material listing for you to follow along, but to make it even easier for you, we've also created a downloadable, printable version that you'll be able to go back to time and time again. This digital PDF even has all the products linked to our website, so if there's anything you need to buy, you can simply click on the product and it will take you through to the relevant product page on our website.

Instructions:

1 Trim foiled paper to 7¾” square, edge using a chisel-tip glue pen, and cover with Crystallina glitter. Affix to the base card. Take a sheet of white cardstock and trim to 7¼” square. Edge using a chisel-tip glue pen and affix to base card.

2 Trim another sheet of white cardstock down to 6” square. Place inside the embossing folder so the top of the folder is lined up with the top of the piece of card, then run through a die-cutting machine. Apply PVA glue to the village scene and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter.

3 Tear hills to place across the bottom of the card from leftover white cardstock from steps 1 and 2. Glue into place and then add PVA glue and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter to give a snowy effect.

4 Stamp a sentiment in the top-left corner using a Morning Mist inkpad.

5 Stamp two cars onto white cardstock using a Morning Mist inkpad, then cover with Clear Gloss Superfine embossing powder and heat to set. Colour in the cars, cut out the images and add dots of PVA glue to the trees. Cover with Gold Rush glitter to give the trees a sparkly effect, then affix the scene to the base card.

6 Using the Basic Squares dies and snowflake foiled paper, create a frame to fit over the scene. Adhere a piece of acetate to the aperture to start creating the shaker card. Line the frame with foam pads or foam tape, making sure there are no gaps.

7 Add a pile of Snowflake Flurry Sparkelicious glitter to the scene, then place the acetate frame over the top, making sure to stick down well. This will complete your shaker element.

8 Tie a triple bow from white sheer ribbon and affix in the top-left corner of the card, adding a sparkler to the centre.

9 Complete your card by embellishing with bling from the Everyday Essentials Bling Box.
