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!

Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4' Square
Lights Aglow (ret): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4", 1 3/8" x 5 1/4" (black stars), 3" square (black "bokeh")
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.

Scrap Paper Snowflake Cards

This layout I originally saw on one of Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Stamping videos. She calls is a Scrap Paper layout, that can be used in so many ways. On these 2 cards that I made before I left for Vienna, utilizes the soon to be retired Christmas Lights stamp set, and the already discontinued Lights Aglow DSP. The neat thing with this layout, is ANY paper scraps can be used. Find a focal point, and go!

Measurements: :

Evening Evergreen (Very Vanilla): 1/2 sheet
Soft Succulent (Cherry Cobbler): 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White (Very Vanilla): 3 3/4" x 5", 3 1/4" square (snowflake)
(Gold Foil): 3 1/4" square (snowflake)
Lights Aglow (ret): 2-3 colors of 1/2" strips

To Make This Card: (Directions for Cherry Cobbler version in parenthesis)

Attach Soft Succulent (Cherry Cobbler) and Basic White (Very Vanilla) layers to folded Evening Evergreen (Very Vanilla) card.
On the "green" version, I laid the 3 strips right onto the edges of the Basic White layer. I did the bottom strips first, and the side strips second.
On the "red" version, I used only 2 strips and laid the bottom piece 1/8" from bottom, then the same piece 1/8" from the side, then added the next piece to the bottom, sort of "weaving" the layers.
I placed my "snowflakes" onto the crossed pieces, but you could also exposed the crossed pieces and put your image on the open areas.
The "green" snowflake is stamped in Evening Evergreen, die cut with coordinating die and attached to the card front with a Dimensional.
The "gold" snowflake is just die cut with the snowflake die and also attached to the card front with a Dimensional.
To finish the cards, stamp sentiment of your choice in Evening Evergreen (Cherry Cobbler).
Finish embellishing with Festive Pearls in Gold, or (Festive Pearls) in Red.

Stamped Fitted Florets

I wanted to created a card with stamped flowers that used my favorite oval frame! This one uses 2 of the frames, plus the center of the "rippled" one, along with the die cut greenery. We'll be making this one in stamp club on Saturday.

Measurements: :

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5" (oval)
Fitted Florets DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (blue floral)
Balmy Blue: 4" x 5", scraps
Night of Navy: 1/4 sheet
Soft Succulent: scraps

To Make This Card:

Attach DSP to folded White card.
Die cut "fancy" frame from Night of Navy.
Die cut "rippled" frame from both Balmy Blue and Basic White. You will use the Balmy Blue "frame" and the Basic White center oval.
Die cut 3 "sprigs" from Soft Succulent
Stamp 2 large and 1 small flower in Navy onto scraps of Balmy Blue. Cut out with corresponding dies.
Begin by adding Balmy Blue frame to card front.
Stamp sentiment in Night of Navy onto center of White Oval. Attach to center of Blue frame.
Add Night of Navy Frame last. It will overlap the Blue frame just a little.
Add larger "sprig" to left side of frames with Multipurpose Glue.
Add 1 large and 1 small flower to lower edge of frames, leaving space for the popped up large flower.
Add the last 2 "sprigs" under small flower.
Finish with a small Seam Binding Bow and scattered Iridescent Rhinestones.
Run 1/4 sheet of Shimmery White through Merriest Moments Embossing Folder.
Attach this piece to folded Shimmery White card.
Next, die cut the "fancy" oval also from Shimmery White. (Tone on Tone is gorgeous!) Attach to card front over embossing.
Stamp sentiment in Real Red Ink onto Cut Oval and attach to card front inside oval opening.
Stamp one each of the Poinsettias in Real Red Ink onto scraps of Shimmery White. Die cut flowers with corresponding dies.
Die cut smaller "poinsettia" from Red Glimmer paper.
Layer "poinsettias" together as shown. Attach to card.
Also, cut "pine boughs" from Evening Evergreen Glimmer paper, using the detail Christmas Pinecone die. I only cut a portion of the die. (Note: I liked the lighter, softer look of the pine boughs in the returning die in the AC.)
Cut "pine boughs" from the "pinecones", creating separate "boughs". Dip the bases in Multipurpose Glue and tuck behind "poinsettia".
