Card Making Project - Robins Blue and White Christmas Card
Made by Mary

This lovely card uses decorative scissors to cut the circle for the glitter paper backing to the topper. If you find this too tricky, cut a plain circle or use a die cutting machine and Nestabilities scallop circles dies.

To make this card you will need:

A4 White Linen Card creased to A5
A4 Stardream Vista Card creased to A5
A4 Stargem Glitter Paper - White Iridescent
Die Cut Foiled Toppers - Winter Garden
Iridescent Edged White Organdie Ribbon
Self Adhesive Snowflakes
Peel Offs - Merry Christmas Large - Silver
6mm Fingerlift Double-sided Adhesive Tape
Photo Glue
3D Foam Pads 3mm Thick or Silicon Glue
Rotary Trimmer with Scallop Blade or Scallop Decorative Scissors
Cupid's Bow Decorative Scissors
Scissors


Trim the front edge of the white linen card with the rotary trimmer and scallop blade or the scallop decorative scissors.

Trim the front edge of the Stardream Vista card with the rotary trimmer and scallop blade or the scallop decorative scissors approx. 1cm from the edge. Save the piece cut off to use later.

Using photo glue, glue the white linen card inside the Stardream Vista card.

Cut a piece of the iridescent edged white ribbon to measure 210mm and, using double sided tape, glue to the centre of the card.

Push out the 2 toppers from the Winter Garden sheet using scissors, if necessary, to snip the retaining pieces.  Using the larger topper trace around it with a pencil on the back of the glitter paper.

Using the traced circle as a guide, and remembering that the glitter circle needs to be bigger than the traced circle, cut a circle, approx. 120mm in diameter, using the cupid's bow decorative edge scissors.  Glue the glitter paper circle to the card using photo glue.

Glue the large die cut outer circle topper in the centre of the circle using 3D foam pads or silicon glue. Silicon glue will give the better adhesion onto the glitter paper but you do have to wait for it to dry.

Glue the smaller inner circle topper to the card using double thickness of  3D Foam pads (created by sticking 2 foam pads one on top of the other) or silicon glue.

Cut the piece of 1cm wide Stardream Vista card that you saved from trimming the edge of the card earlier and cut to 138mm using the rotary trimmer and scallop blade or the scallop scissors. Glue this to the card using photo glue.

Place the large silver Merry Christmas peel off on the strip of Stardream Vista starting at the left hand edge.
Add one of the larger self adhesive snowflakes.

Finally add a smaller self adhesive snowflake to the top of the card.
