Signs of Santa 4 sided interactive Never Ending card

I used a tutorial at Splitcoaststampers here to make this 4 level interactive card other wise known at the Never Ending Card.

To decorate the various levels I used the Signs of Santa bundle as well as the Santa's Workshop DSP

Level one opens in the middle to reveal …

Level two opens upwards and downwards in the middle to reveal...

Level 3 opens in the middle to reveal the 4th level.....

Open this at the middle and we're back at the beginning.

Snowflake in Gold

I helped a colleague at a craft show today and on the drive up it was snowing - yes, snowing.  The snowflakes were not gold in color as will be shown on the attached card.  The new, limited edition "Snowflake thinlet dies" make absolutely gorgeous snowflakes no matter the color.

Two of the largest snowflakes, die cut in gold foil, were adhered to a Merry Merlot background using the Sissiz adhesive sheets.

The Merry Merlot was matted with Gold Foil with some 5/8" reversible copper/gold ribbon adhered below the snowflake. 

Perhaps the bow should not have been so large as it is obscuring the sentiment from "Stylish Christmas" embossed in gold.

All layers are adhered to a Merry Merlot card base.

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Stylish Christmas, Snow is Glistening

Inks:  Versa Mark

Papers;  Merry Merlot, Gold Foil

Accessories:  Snowfall Thinlet Dies, Sixxix adhesive sheets, 5/8" reverse copper gold ribbon, gold embossing powder

Stylish Christmas - The Paper Players #411

For the sketch challenge with The Paper Players here I pulled out the Stylish Christmas stamp set as I had not used it yet and thought it might look perfect with the sketch.

I decided to keep the circle shape for my main art piece, so I die cutting a circle using the circle framelit.  On the circle  I stamped the leaves for the flower twice at opposite ends using Mossy Meadow ink.  The flower was stamped with Merry Merlot ink on a separate piece of Whisper White and fussy cut before mounting it on this circle using dimensionals. I coloured the center of the flower with a Daffodil Delight marker, and the berries among the leaves with a Merry Merlot marker.

Because the color scheme of this card is copper, Merry Merlot and shite, I therefore copper embossed the edge of the circle to make it blend with the rest of the color scheme.

On the top of the card front I added some Joyous Noel DSP. On the lower section I created my own background using the large stylish stamped in various directions and  embossing it with copper embossing powder.

Between the two areas I added some 5/8" Merry Merlot reverse Copper ribbon, adding a bow at the left side of the circle.

The sentiment, also embossed with copper, is matted with copper foil and added to the lower card front with dimensionals.

The card front is added to some Copper Foil, which is added to a Merry Merlot card base.
