Today’s project is a traditional style Christmas card with a fun little fold. I used returning favorites from last year to make this Christmas Gleaming fun fold card.
The Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle from Stampin’ Up! includes the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Each of the elements can be purchased separately but there is a 10% savings when they are purchased as a bundle.
The card base for my project today is not your traditional A2 card. A smaller, 4-1/4″ x 3-1/8″ card is adhered to a a single piece of 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ base. I layered my base with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock.
Watch this video replay of today’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live to see how I assembled this card:
One of my guests said during today’s Facebook Live, “It looks complicated but not really too hard”. She’s right, it is a great card to make when you want to make a good impression but don’t have a lot of time for complicated. And the images in the Christmas Gleaming stamp are awesome traditional images. It will be a set you’ll keep and use year after year.
