Glittered Merry Christmas

Hi friends! A very Happy Saturday to you! I hope you’re enjoying some nice weather and it’s not too awfully hot where you are! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #2 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! I went with column G – fancy fold, ribbon, glitter, and sentiment as main focus. This is a fancy fold (my own design) and it might look pretty plain, but there is a surprise on the inside!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Fairway cardstock along with a layering panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White. Using the Concord & 9th Gingham Background stamp set, I stamped the layering panel in Stampin’ Up Real Red and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the sentiment and ribbon which were die cut from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Black Prince and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet black glittered enamel dots.

I told you there is a surprise on the inside… a pop-up snowman which is the fancy fold! Using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmed, I made the horizontal cuts to form the pop-up snowman and covered the sections with CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. I embellished his hat with tiny Eyelet Outlet green pearls.

I added Eyelet Outlet black enamel dots for the eyes and buttons, and used Nuvo Ebony Black and Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Drops for the mouth and nose. Using snowflake dies in the Sizzix Calendar Months Thinlits, I cut three snowflakes from the Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock.

I wanted to use a specific sentiment from The Project Bin Merriest Christmas stamp set but it was just a tad too big, so I typed it on the laptop and cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX die. The finishing touch was adding a star which I die cut from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock using The Project Bin Mid Century Christmas dies.
