Craft-A-Long - Star Insert Christmas Card


Welcome to this week's Craft-A-Long.  If you want to join the video call, please click here to access the TEAMS call.

Here are the full instructions for this weeks project and I look forward to crafting with you on Thursday.

Insert Star card

Method

Cut an A6 card blank from Coastal Cabana cardstock.  Cut a second A6 card blank from Coastal Cabana cardstock and score at 2 1/16”, 4 1/8” and then flip it 180 and score again at 2 1/16”.  Fold the middle score as a mountain fold and the other two scores as valley scores.

Cut two pieces of Snowflake Splendor DSP to 1 15/16”x 5 ¾” and one piece at 4 x 5 ¾”.

Cut two pieces of the Balmy Blue Gimmer Paper to 1 15/16 x 5 ¾”.

Take the piece of Coastal Cabana scored three times and line up the largest piece of DSP to the central section and tape down.  Run through a die machine with the second-largest star die that you are using.

Remove the DSP and line up the largest star die around the star already cut and die cut.

Add the DSP to the Coastal Cabana cardstock scored three times.

Add a star embellishment to hang in the middle of the die-cut star shape.

Add the Balmy Blue Glimmer paper to the inside of the A6 card blank, abutting up to the central score line.

Cut a piece of DSP to 3 7/8” x 5 5/8”.  Cut a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock to 4 x 5 ¾”.  Layer the DSP onto the cardstock and add to the front of the card.

Add adhesive sheets to both sides of a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and run through with three of the snowflake dies.  Run through two to three times to ensure the backing paper to the adhesive sheet cuts.

If you can, remove the snowflakes from the card, otherwise just take the layer of adhesive backing sheet which is on the ‘right’ side of the die-cut and sprinkle with glitter.  If you remove both sides of the backing sheet you will get glitter on both sides and this will make the snowflake difficult to adhere to the card.

Stamp the greeting in Coastal Cabana ink on Whisper White cardstock and die cut out with one of the layering ovals, as well as scalloped mat from Coastal Cabana cardstock.

Add a strip of ribbon to the card front and add the greeting on top with dimensionals.

Add the snowflakes to the card front.

Add glue to the two outer panels of the Coastal Cabana/DSP insert and adhere to the inside of the card.  Ensure the outer edges of the panel’s line up with the edges of the card blank.  Fold closed.
