Today's card is the same one as I made all the way back in week 1 but I have switched the blues out for pinks instead. Originally this card was inspired by one in the annual catalogue on page 122.
Close up
Step by step instructions to create you own card (inches are in bold)
1. Cut berry burst 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 powder pink 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 berry burst cardstock
7. Stamp largest 8 sided star shape in powder pink 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 berry burst ink
9. Stamp Merry Christmas in powder pink ink on powder pink cardstock strip and cut flag ends using paper snips
10. Adhere whisper white panel onto crumb cake and also adhere powder pink 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 berry burst card once it was all finished)
11. Adhere crumb cake panel onto berry burst card and trim powder pink 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
