Hello, it's Verity with another blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! This is a really quick and easy card to make, so if you still need to make a last-minute card, then these can be whipped up in a jiffy. I used the beautiful Copper Fire Sparkles for this card, but you could choose any colour in the Sparkles range and they would work just as well! So let's get started.
Easy Sparkle Christmas cardwritten Tutorial:
Cover a piece of white card with a piece of double-sided adhesive sheet. Next, remove the adhesive backing sheet to expose the adhesive.
Cover the card panel in WOW! Copper Fire Sparkles and burnish this down into the adhesive. Next, run this through your die-cutting machine with using dies from the Lea's Ornate Lowercase alphabet dies from PinkFresh Studio to spell out 'Merry'.
To create the background, place the Snowflake stencil mask over a card base and ink blend Mint To Be and It's A Boy ink over the top. Reposition the mask and repeat to create a full background.
Assemble the card by foam mounting the die-cut letters onto the card front and adding a heat emboss 'Christmas' from the Merry Sentiment set in a Copper embossing folder. Lastly, embellish with Moonstone drops.
With the Lea's Ornate Lowercase alphabet dies, it die-cuts the letter twice at the same time, one a thin frame. I used these thin frames to create a really easy elegant CAS card.
Adhere the thin frame glitter letters to a card panel with liquid adhesive. Add white embossed sentiment on the top to finish the sentiment off.
Lastly, embellish with black sequins for a classy modern card.

These cards are gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards in the CAS style Verity, with the soft pretty ink blended over an embossed background, and then the more modern crisp and clean look of the second and so different but using the large die cut letters as the focal image and the added black enamel dots on the second finish it beautifully. x
