A Slimline Christmas Card

Joy To The World!

Hi everyone! Monica of HeartcraftPaper and I'm so glad that you could join me for some Christmas inspiration. I'm going to show you how to make a Christmas themed slimline card.  I was inspired for today's project by a beautiful JOY die from Tutti Design.  I fell in love with all of the filigree and detail of the set. 

Supplies:

JOY Die
Slimline Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies
Slimline Stitched Rectangle Dies
Poinsettia Dies
A Creature Was Stirring
Here Comes Santa Clause Paper Set
Petite Prints Green
8 1/2" x 3 1/2" Card Base
Liquid Glue
​Double Sided Tape

I decided to make a video tutorial for today's project in order to help you visualize the card making processes even better.  Pause and rewind the video as needed to revisit any part of the process.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Start by Die-Cutting the Poinsettia Flowers and Petals and stack as shown.  Bend each petal over a Stylus tool to shape the flowers and add depth.


Die-Cut your die striped and kraft panels as shown, then adhere and layer starting with the Mirrored gold frame.

 Then Die-Cut 3 panels from the Stitched Lattice Frames and adhere for creating the card base.


Your Card Base and Lattice Frames are now ready.

  Next, Die-cut the sentiment multiple times and adhere as shown. Also measure and cut a rectangular red glittered panel to place behind your lattice frame panel.

 Add the red glittered cardstock piece under Stitched Lattice Frame panel (which is backed with foam adhesive tape for dimension).


The Lattice Panel layers will be stacked and adhered as shown. (multiple layers give your project depth)

  Finally, adhere the  die-cutsentiment and poinsettia flowers.  Options are the added golded ribbon and ultra-fine glitter sprinkled over the flowers for extra sparkle.  I've topped off each flower with a golden button.  Here is the finished product photographed from a different angle.

That's it! Happy Crafting!
