Due
to my daughter’s wedding in June, I chose not to be a participating designer
for this reveal. However, I did manage
to complete a fun project and thought I would share it with you.
My
friends accuse me of making my cards so complex and detailed, and this card
might be a sample of why they say this.
Do you get a great, creative idea for a card and then you are determined
to make it work. That is what I did on
this card. Once I figured out all the
measurements it wasn’t all that difficult.
x
The
card is created with layers of blue and white, with corners rounded and using
the Distressed Embossing Powder Technique to add Blue Silver EP to the edges of
the blue layers. The card front uses the
blue and white layers on top of a decorative layer created by punching around
all the edges. These are attached to an
Easel Card base (see Easel Cards in SNS Tips and Techniques).
x
x
The
layers were run through an embossing folder and the elegant angel image, from
the Noel Angel set, was layered on the front.
It was stamped, colored, and fussy cut.
Then Cloud Nine, Jasper Blue, Daisy Velvet, Gypsy Red, Lator Gator, and Goldenrodvelvet glitters were added, using a glue pen.
The
star was created using Spellbinders’ dies and the Creating Custom Glitter PaperTechnique. It was popped up on the card
with dimensionals.
x
The
sentiments is heat embossed with Dark Night EP, die cut to look like a cloud,
and edges distress embossed with Blue Silver EP.

The
card opens to reveal a wonderful surprise – another lovely image and a mini
easel card.
The
image was stamped and colored on top of Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter (see Stampingand Coloring on Glitter in Tips and Techniques). It was fussy cut and layered on Spellbinders’
Asian Motif square, covered with more Blue Silver EP. This is layered on a smaller Easel Card base
adhered to the layered inside of the main card.
An
embossing powder distressed blue layer is added to the inside, along with the
die cut sentiment and pearls.

When
all parts are opened, you get the full scene of the Nativity with the angel and
star above. Though I might not make 50
of these for my Christmas cards, I love how this came out and the story it
tells.
Now
head on over to the SNS July Reveal Hop and visit my fellow designers, who have
more amazing projects waiting for you. Don't
forget to leave them comments to get a chance to win this great prize.
Make
sure you check out the SNS Creative
