Golden Winter Wishes

TGIF, friends! We made it to Friday. And I don’t know about you but I skidded into the end of the work week with my pants on fire. Whew! I have equally as many things on the weekend to-do list — but at least it’s a mixture of the fun and necessary.

This week we’re exploring a design theme — all that glitters is gold — and we’re using all of the fun sparkly gold goodies from the crafting stash. I’ve been mixing up the old & the new to create this week’s projects. And today’s card is a sneak peek at a couple of new snowflake-themed products that released just a few weeks ago. We’re mixing the Elegant Pine Snowflake suite with the Snowy Delights dies to create this winter-inspired card.

The snowflake is the real star of the show here, so we’re keeping things clean and simple with this layout. We get started with a base of Basic White cardstock. The background panel is a piece of the Elegant Pine Snowflake paper. I tied some of the iridescent striped ribbon around the bottom to add some mysterious, ethereal sheen. Our gorgeous snowflake consists of a backdrop of gold textured metallic paper cut with the largest Snowy Delights die. Then our intricate detailed layer is a sheet of silver glimmer paper from the Peaceful Garden pack cut with the detailed die from the Snowy Delights set. The detailed snowflake is adhered over the gold glimmery backdrop with dimensionals. The full snowflake is adhered to our background panel with dimensionals above the shimmery ribbon. The sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set is stamped in Pretty Peacock on white paper and then diecut with one of the smaller dies from the Traditional Labels set. We adhered our sentiment with several layers of dimensionals over double pine boughs cut from Mossy Meadow using the Delicate Pines die. Our design is finished off with some frosted iridescent dots in opposing corners for just a hint of sparkle as the card turns from side to side. I wish you could see all of the sparkle!

Tune in tomorrow to see the fun sparkly project I have in store for you!
