I just love sparkle! This Dazzling Christmas Card uses the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to add a beautiful sparkle. I used the Rustic Retreat stamp set for a simple but eloquent background.
The Rustic Retreat stamp set was used for a simple background and the sentiment. I stayed with two shades of blue for a more monochromatic look to let the sparkle and the foil paper really stand out. A simple masking technique was used to layer the stamps for more dimension. The stitched rectangle dies add that extra little touch to the details of this card.
This card has a lot of detail but is still a fairly simple card to make. This card utilizes both the stitched rectangle dies and the layering circle dies. If you have not added these to your card making supplies I highly recommend them. They will become items that you reach for on a regular basis.
As we get closer to Christmas I will be putting out regular Christmas card ideas as well as gift giving items. If you have not already subscribed to my YouTube channel make sure to do so. That way you won’t miss out on future projects.

Thank you for your kind comments. Glad to meet another demonstrator. I agree on the criteria for a great card although I would probably add dimensionals to my list as I seem to have a hard time making a card without using some!
