As I enjoy making Christmas cards (and always need a stack) I am going to do my best to join fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators in our greater Stampin' Up! team to make a Christmas card each week between now and late November.
I couldn't really think of a card to make for todays card, so I CASED a card (from page 122 of the upcoming 2017-2018 catalogue) only making it rectangular and not square. (I will upload the inspiration picture after June 1st when the catalogue is live.)
My CASE of it
Close up
Inside card
Step by step instructions to create you own card (inches are in bold)
1. Cut bermuda bay cardstock 20cm x 14.5cm (7 7/8" x 5 6/8") & score at 10cm (4") and set aside
2. Cut crumb cake cardstock 9.5cm x 14cm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2")
3. Cut whisper white cardstock 9.5cm x 8cm (3 3/4" x 3")
4. Cut pool party cardstock 1.5cm x 14cm (5/8" x 5 1/2")
5. Ink edges of all cardstock using co-ordinating inks (except whisper white)
6. Die cut star from bermuda bay cardstock
7. Stamp largest 8 sided star shape in pool party on whisper white cardstock approx. in the centre (use die cut image as a guide)
8. Randomly stamp small solid stars in various locations on whisper white and crumb cake cardstock using bermuda bay ink
9. Stamp Merry Christmas in pool party ink on pool party cardstock strip and cut flag ends using paper snips
10. Adhere whisper white panel onto crumb cake and also adhere pool party strip down the bottom of the crumb cake cardstock leaving a small gap from the bottom edge. (I have also left a small overhang on the left hand side and cut it off even with my bermuda bay card once it was all finished)
11. Adhere crumb cake panel onto bermuda bay card and trim pool party strip overhang.
12. Adhere star die cut onto the front of the card and finish off with rhinestone basic jewels randomly over the card front
