Hello again friends! I’m happy to be back today to share a couple more projects using the new Glimmer Greetings Collection from Spellbinders. I loved the gorgeous Glimmer designs in this collection so much that I made four more clean and simple cards in traditional Christmas colors to inspire you. (If you missed my first post, you can click here to see it!)
MERRY & BRIGHT CHRISTMAS TREE CARD
The new Blooming Tree Glimmer Plate Set is so beautiful I had to create a couple of cards with it first. Here I used one of the new Glimmer Foil colors (coming very soon!) to create this easy holiday card.
- Apply White Hot Foil to Fern Cardstock using the Blooming Tree Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out with the coordinating die.
- Apply White Hot Foil to Portobello Cardstock using the Plaid Tidings Glimmer Plate Set and trim the panel down to 4” x 5.25”.
- Apply White Hot Foil to Phone Booth Cardstock using one of the greetings from the Merry Glimmer Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out with the coordinating dies.
- Mat the background panel with Phone Booth Cardstock and adhere it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.
- Pop the tree up in the center of the card front with foam adhesive.
- Add the sentiment beneath the tree with more foam adhesive.
SPARKLY ARCHWAY CHRISTMAS TREE CARD
This tree is so pretty, I couldn’t resist creating a second card with it. Here I added a golden version to a festive archway for this fun Christmas card.
- Apply Gold Hot Foil to Fern cardstock using the Blooming Tree Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out with the coordinating die.
- Apply Red Sparkle Hot Foil (coming soon!) to white cardstock using the Glimmer Essential Solid Arch Plate. Cut it out using a slightly larger die from the Essential Arches Die Set.
- Apply Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using one of the sentiments from the Merry Glimmer Greetings Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out with the coordinating dies.
- Trim a piece of Portobello Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”, emboss it with the Plaid Company Embossing Folder, and adhere it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.
- Pop the foiled archway up in the center of the card front with foam adhesive.
- Add the tree and sentiment on top with more foam adhesive.
COLORFUL PLAID CHRISTMAS CARD
Next, I wanted to play a little more with the Plaid Tidings Glimmer Plate to create a fun double-foiled background. I kept the rest of the card simple to allow all that color to shine.
- Apply Red Hot Foil to a piece of white cardstock using the Plaid Tidings Glimmer Plate, then shift the plate just a tad up on the cardstock and apply Gold Hot Foil.
- Trim the panel down to 4.25” square, mat it with Mirror Gold and Phone Booth Cardstock before adhering it to a top-folding 4.75” square white card base with tape runner.
- Apply Green Hot Foil to white cardstock using one of the greetings from the Merry Glimmer Greetings Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out with the coordinating dies.
- Die cut white cardstock using the Fluted Classics Circles Die Set and adhere it to the center of the card front with foam adhesive.
- Add the sentiment on top of the circle with more foam adhesive.
SIMPLE HOLLY CARD
Lastly, I loved the beautiful design of the Crossed Lines Cardfront Glimmer Plate Set and added just a few small embellishments for this simple and elegant holiday card.
- Trim a piece of Phone Booth Cardstock to 4” x 5.25” and apply Satin Gold Hot Foil to the panel using the Crossed Lines Cardfront Glimmer Plate Set.
- Apply Satin Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using the sentiment from the Crossed Lines Cardfront Glimmer Plate Set and cut it out using the Essential Diamonds Die Set.
- Die cut Fern and Poppy Field Cardstock using the holly leaf and berry dies from the Holiday Blooms Die Set.
- Adhere a piece of Portobello Cardstock to a top-folding A2-sized white card base and then pop the foiled background panel up on top using foam adhesive.
- Add the sentiment and holly leaves to the front of the card with more foam adhesive.
- Embellish with Gold Mix Gems.
