Christmas Tree Card

Hello again

Here it today's card. I'm sticking with the Christmas theme at the moment.


Shopping List

C5 card blank.
Silver Miri card
White card stock
Creative Expressions snowflake lattice embossing folder
Snowflake embossing folder ( from the snowman)
Heat resistant acetate 
Sue Wilson's noble ornate pierced Dies
Sue Wilson's noble classic adorned Dies
Phill Martin's  holly sentiments borders Stamps
Stamps by Chloe Starry Christmas tree
Perfect Medium 
Mounting foam
Wow metallic silver sparkling embossing powder
Small gems
Small dazzler
Seam binding ribbon

Ok here goes,

I started by gluing a piece of the silver Miri card about 1/2 cm smaller than the card blank to the top of the card.

I then cut a piece of white card, again about 1/2 cm smaller than the previous one, embossed it using the snowflake lattice embossing folder and layered it n to the Miri card.

I then took a piece of heat resistant acetate, wiped it with an anti static bag, and using the perfect medium stamped Chloes tree to the centre. I then added the embossing powder and heat embossed it.

I cut a small frame using the larger dies from both the noble sets and glued the acetate to the back. Once set I trimmed the edges to remove any excess acetate.

Using the centre that was cut when making the frame, I embossed that s with the snowflake embossing folder and stuck it to the card in the centre towards the top and added some small gems to the centre of the snowflakes. I then added some very narrow mounting foam to the back of the frame and stuck it onto the card over the centre frame. And added some money re of the same gems to the tree.

I then cut a border of silver Miri and a slightly smaller piece of white card which I then stamped with Phill's border sentiment and some perfect medium and heat embossed it with the sa,e embossing powder as the tree. These were then matted together and stuck to the bottom of the card.

To finish I made a triple bow, added to the bottom of the tree and stuck a small dazzler in the middle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy crafting as always

Love Alison
