Elegant Red and White Glitter Pop and Twist Glitter card - SUO Challenges $163

The challenge with SUO was to create an elegant Holiday design.  For this challenge, I created a Pop and twist card in Real Red, Whisper White, and red glimmer paper.

I love making the Pop and twist cards, and they have been very popular at my craft shows.  I used the video tutorial here on You Tube to make this and other pop and twist cards.

The front of the card, with a belly band around it is seen above.

The basic Real Red cardstock is layered with Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper, and then Red Glimmer paper.

On the Whisper White art piece the sentiment (fron Wonderful Year) is embossed with clear embossing powder (the stamp was first inked with Versa Mark, and then with Real Red ink, stamped and then clear embossed).  Three stars punched with the itty bitty star punch were also added to the card front.

The 1" belly band is embellished with a red glimmer flower which was punched with the Festive flower builder punch and created into a flower on a 1 1/4" dazzling diamond glimmer circle.  A pearl is in the center. It is adhered at the back of the card with velcro.

In the picture above the belly band has been removed.  An envelope made using the Envelope Maker and Real Red envelope paper is seen above the card.

The upper and lower ends are layered with Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper.  The sentiment on the top end is from Hang Your Stockings and stamped with Real Red ink on Whisper White.  It is die cut using the Labels framelit and matted with a larger Labels framelit in Real Red.

On the lower end, the additional sentiment also stamped with Real Red ink is from Embellished Ornaments and is also die cut using the Labels framelit.  Red Glimmer stars added extra embellishments.

Each section of the panel is layered with Red Glimmer Paper, followed by Dazzling diamond glimmer paper.  Each letter of "NOEL" is die cut with the retired Bigz Alphabet Typeset die in Red Glimmer paper.

 Happy World Card Making Day!!

The weather on this first of October Day is finally cooler, and we're even having some rainfall, although not as much as the flooding deluge that Windsor experienced. A perfect day to stay indoors and make some cards - relax and make some cards - even though I really need to work and replenish the stock that was sold at my sale yesterday.

This is the card I ended up making.

 

The base card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock, layered with Warmth and Cheer DSP, followed with the Whisper White image piece.  This piece was embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder. The rest of the die cuts were built on this background.


"Noel" was die cut in Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered to the top of the art piece.

On a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, three stockings were stamped- one with Cherry Cobbler, one with Garden Green, and one with  Delightful Dijon and then die cut with the Christmas Stockings Thinlets.  They were then embossed with the new Cable Knit embossing folder.
The tops, heels and toes were die cut using Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper and adhered to the stocking; The snowflakes die cut from the center of another stocking.

The stockings were hung from pine boughs which were die cut in Garden Green and the Pretty Pines Thinlet.  At the top of each stocking I adhered a bow made with linen thread.
