After making this POP UP CARD (one of my most viewed videos) I decided to make another pop up card with pretty simple steps. All the products I used here are from Sizzix Lifestyle.

• Sizzix Accessory - Cardstock Sheets, 80PK (20 Colours)

Originally the pop up house thinlit die is meant for making pop up cards but I used it in a different way. Watch the video above to learn how I made it.

I kept the card front simple as there was so much going inside! And that 'Merry Christmas' was handwritten.

BRR-FECT CARD

Hi everyone! I'm here with a card made for few challenges. The stamp set I used here was from Paper Smooches - Chilly Chums. This card was inspired by one of my older card designs. :)

CARD DETAILS

I simply started by masking a portion on a A2 top folding card with a masking paper and applied Peacock Feathers Distress Ink with the help of ink blending tool. Then I stamped the skull cap, masked it and stamped the seal image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then colored the skull cap with Sizzix Alcohol Markers and also added a little blush to his cheeks. Finally finished the card with the sentiment from the same stamp set.

Entering this card for CASology Week 323: NORTH, Less is More Challenge #385 - OLC Holiday and AAA Cards CAS Game #129 - Mostly White.

Thanks for visiting! :)

ELEGANT LEAF CHRISTMAS CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello everyone! This beautiful and elegant Christmas card was made using the products from Sizzix Lifestyle. The name of the leaf is Elegant Leaf Thinlit Die. This is kind of vintage looking card which I absolutely like creating them. Oh! did you see that glitter?? That glitter added so much definition to the overall card design. :)

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Sizzix Cardstock
• Elegant Leaf Thinlit Die
• Sizzix Accessory - Glitter 3PK (White, Gold, Silver)
• Sizzix Accessory - Multi-Tool
• Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit (White & Gray)

CARD DETAILS

I started by folding the card base to an A2 card size and cut another panel smaller than the main card base. I distressed the edges of the smaller panel with a distress tool and ink blended the main card base with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Added splatters of water on the smaller panel for that dreamy or snowy or christmasy background.

Then I die-cut the Elegant Leaf  thinlit die out of white card stock with the help of Sizzix Side Kick Machine and colored the leaf with Peeled Paint Distress Ink followed by Vintage Photo. Then I applied glue on few places over the leaf and sprinkled the fine gold glitter. Also added twine and embellished with a gold sequin.

Finally stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Toboggan Together Stamp Set and heat embossed it with Ranger Gold Embossing Powder. :)

Entering this card for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge. I hope you like it. Please visit sizzix.co.uk blog for more details and inspiration. Thank you :)
