I have already made one seasonal card this year so I decided to try another CASE from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine (issue 172, August 2017). Again, I went with the "Quick Makes" article (pp 35-40) and selected the layout used in the card entitled "Beautiful Day" (pp 37-38). I changed out the card size, colors and images to reflect a Christmas card rather than a spring-like card that was the original.
I started by making a base card using S.E.I. paper and gold glitter paper on a top-folding white card:
- Stamps: Stampers Anonymous "Great Outdoors" (CMS321)
- Inks: Archival "Leaf Green"
- Dies and Embossing Folders: Sizzix BIGZ/Texture Fade "Layered Holliday Wrath" (662169)
- Papers: Paper reflections Cards "white" (GRC02116); S.E.I "Holiday Traditions" papered (8-7690); scraps of gloss white, gold glitter, dark green and rd card
- Adhesives: red-Line 1/8" Embossing Tape; Distress Collage Medium
