A6 Christmas Card from Crafter's Inspiration Issue 12

This beautiful card has been designed by one of the design team at Crafter's Companion, using the free gifts in Issue 12 of the Crafter's Inspiration Magazine.

Materials and equipment used to make this card:

* 1 sheet of White Card link
* 1 sheet of Textured White Card link
* Silver Mirror and Glitter Card from the Crafter's Companion Luxury Cardstock Collection link
* Pearls and Cord
* Crafter's Inspiration Free Gifts link:
       Softly Falling Embossing Folder
       Festive Trio Dies
       Sentiment Stamp

Instructions:

1. Take a sheet of White Card and cut to 210x148mm, then score in half to make the A6 card base.

2. Take a sheet of Textured White Card and cut to 144x101mm.

3. Cut a sheet of Glitter Card to 136x44m and the Mirror Card to 132x40mm.

4. Emboss the Mirror Card using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and glue onto the piece of Glitter Card.

5. Die-cut 3 of the baubles from the Festive Trio Die Set out of Mirror and Glitter Card.  If you want, you can leave the die-cut pieces in the Glitter Card baubles as they may be rather difficult to remove.

6. Stamp your sentiment in black ink on the bottom right-hand corner of the Textured Card piece and then stick this to the card base.

7. Use foam pads to add the Glitter and Mirror Card piece to the top area of the card.

8. Thread some cord through the baubles and use 3D Glue Gel and a Pearl to secure to the Mirror Card.  I found it was easier to add a dot of Glue Gel to the Mirror Card piece first, then push the ends of the cord into it and then add another dot of Glue Gel to the top before adding the pearl.
