Flip Flap Twinkling Lights Snowflake

This Clean & Simple card utilizes the snowflake from the Twinkling Lights Dies.  I love the pierced effect it creates, and the Distressed Gold paper is just gorgeous from it! Finish the card with the now, retired Lights Aglow DSP, and you have an awesome card!

• Very Vanilla: 2 5/8" x 5 1/4"
• Distressed Gold paper: 3 1/4" square

To Make This Card:

• Fold Basic Black card base in half. Trim 1 1/4" from front flap. Set aside, you will be using this piece for the "arm".
• Attach largest DSP piece to front of card.  
• Attach Black "bokeh" DSP piece to Black square.
• Die cut "snowflake" from Distressed Gold paper.  Attach to square with Dimensionals.
• Now, take the strip you removed and trim, if desired or leave it full, to 4".  Score 3 1/2" from one end. Crease well.
• Attach this "arm" to strip of DSP, score line even with cut edge of DSP, and attach to card as shown.
• Fold "arm" into place over front of card.  Center "square" with "snowflake" into place, and attach to "arm".
• Finish by adding Vanilla piece to inside, and Gold Gilded Gems to Snowflake.

Christmas Lights Standing Gate Fold #2

 This card is the "green" version of the previous Standing Gate Fold. The only difference (other than the green color) is the tree focal point, instead of being heat embossing in gold, I simplified this and cut it out of the coordinating Vanilla Snowflake DSP.

Measurements:  : 

• Evening Evergreen or Soft Succulent: 4 1/8" x 5 1/2", 5 1/2" x 7 1/4"
• Lights Aglow (N): 2 1/4" x 5", 1/2" x 2 1/8" (gold scallop)
• Very Vanilla: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"(outside), 2 1/8" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (tree)
• Festive Foils (N): 2 pcs @ 1" x 5 1/4" (Soft Succulent Snowflake)
• Gold Glimmer: scrap

To Make This Card:

• Score card at 1 3/8" - 2 1/2" from each end. Accordion fold. Crease well with Bone Folder.
• Attach the 2 Foil pieces to the outer edges of the card "base".
• Adhere the folded piece to this "base".  It DOES overlap the DSP strips.
• Attach narrower Vanilla piece to inside of card.  Attach DSP piece to the bottom
• Emboss "Christmas Tree" in gold powder, onto Vanilla piece.  Die cut with corresponding die.
• Layer DSP to Vanilla piece.  Add "tree" with Dimensionals.
• Attach this piece to left side of card only.
• Finish with Gold Glimmer Paper "star" with a Rhinestone in the middle

Starry Grove

 I still love the Grove Dies and am always looking for new ideas.  This one uses the gorgeous Lights Aglow DSP with the Grove Dies and deer in Brushed Gold. So, simple, and classy!

Measurements:  

• Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/4" x 5"
• Lights Aglow DSP (N): 3 1/4" x 5"
• Very Vanilla 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one goes inside)
• Brushed Metallic Gold: scraps

To Make This Card:

• Attach Very Vanilla layer to folded Basic Black card.
• Center "grove of trees" and cut from Basic Black  piece.
• Attach DSP behind "trees".  (Note: in order to get 2 pieces of DSP from each 6x6 sheet, these are 3" wide, and run a little short of the die opening.  I just added a little strip of black cardstock to the wrong side at the bottom of the "trees".  If you don't need to make the most of your DSP, cut as needed!)
• Attach this piece to card front.
• Die cut 2 "deer" from the Brushed Gold cardstock.
• Attach to card.  I tucked the feet a little into the "grass".

Christmas Lights Tree Fun Fold

I've had this beautiful bundle since August, and it's time to use it!! The stamp designer shared with the Incentive Trip Achievers how she designed these detailed stamps...on her computer.  Truly amazing!  The DSP is absolutely gorgeous, and has been in and out of availability! (It IS available at the moment!) I saw this fun, simple fold and decided to give it a try.  If you look closely there is Gold Glimmer paper behind the holes in the tree! So many possibilities, from Christmas to Winter!

Measurements:  : 

• Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet
• Lights Aglow (N): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (bokeh); 1" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 4" (gold scallop)
• Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (tree)
• Gold Glimmer (N): 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (tree), scraps (stars)

To Make This Card:

• Score card at 3" from one end.  Turn and score at 1 1/4" from the other end. Crease well with bone folder.  It should meet!
• Attach DSP to corresponding flaps.
• Add Vanilla quarter to inside.  Add strip of DSP to the bottom.
• Die cut "fancy tree" from Vanilla piece.  You will need to use BOTH the "fancy tree" and the "tree outline" to make this tree!
• Die cut "tree outline" from Gold Glimmer paper.  
• Adhere these 2 pieces together with Multipurpose Glue! (Yea, it works best!)
• Attach to left, larger flap.
• Die cut 2 "stars" from scraps of Gold Glimmer paper.  Attach one to "tree" and one to inside of card.
• Finish with Clear Rhinestone on the "star" and scattered around on the DSP, and "green" pearls from the Festive Pearls.
