A Nordic Christmas......

We have been busy again.This week we have made these cards using Woodware Clear stamps with a Nordic theme.

The bauble has been stamped 6 times.Die-cut 5 of them with a circle the size of the bauble.The other one is for the inside of the card.Take 4 of the die-cut circles fold the in half and glue back to back.This is glued in place on the front of the acetate (in line with the bauble that is inside the card) and the other die-cut you have left is glued on the other side of the acetate so it become neat and tidy covering the folds.

What lovely dimension,but will fold flat to fit into an envelope.

This is a lovely card .We have stamped the Dove onto white cardstock using Perfect Medium Ink pad and then covered with White embossing powder and heated with Heatgun. The cardstock is then sprayed  with a Cosmic Shimmer Mister .We used Artic Blue but there are  other colours with are all wonderful.Leave to dry or dry with a Heatgun. Once dry - die-cut your desired shape .We have used a Sue Wilson die -Vienna (ced2205).The edges have also been embossed  using silver embossing powder .

The border has been die-cut from white cardstock using again a Sue Wilson die - Austrian Corner,Border and Tag set (ced2202).Overlay the die-cut border onto a strip of cardstock which again has been sprayed with the Cosmic Shimmer Mister.Trim to shape and cut to the width of your card.
