Here is my Christmas card for this year. Having grown up with origami I was excited to bring a little bit of my heritage into this card. The original inspiration came from a post I saw on Pinterest. Later I googled "origami tree" since many of you asked about instructions after I posted my Christmas card preview. Here are the step-by-step instructions courtesy of "Pixie too". After making 50 of these cards I would recommend that you use a scoring board instead of a bone folder especially for the smaller pieces.
I hope all of you have a safe and happy holiday and wonderful new year!
As usual my great idea for this year's Christmas card turned out to be quite an effort but the results were well worth it. Below are some preview pictures of my card. Now I just need to get them all in the mail.
Hi Everyone! This is the last technique for this year, the double slider card. The instructions are fairly involved so I'm just going to link directly to them. Click here. Hope you had a great time following along. I'll be posting my slider card swap before Thanksgiving.
Here is this month's glitter window technique swap. I started with Stampin' Up's Labels Collection framelits to create the window and then adhered clear packing tape to the back of the Holiday Thyme DSP. I sprinkled glitter onto the tape and spread it out with my finger until the tape was no longer tacky. I stamped the tree from the Flakey Friends set and cut it out using the same size framelit as the window, I just repositioned the framelit and cut it a second time to make the image narrower. I finished the card by attaching the DSP to the cherry cobbler cardstock using stampin dimensionals. I would definitely recommend staying with a chunky glitter. The fine glitter I used looks nice close up but I'm not sure if it will keep the window from sticking to the inside of an envelope.
