Hi everyone, Yvonne here. Today, I’d like to share how I made this Adorable Starry Christmas Card. I turned it into a sparkly eyecatcher card using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Shall we create this card together?
Starry Christmas Card Front Design
Ink a blue circle background on the card panel with a blending tool. First, dab some ink onto the centre of the circle and spread the ink to a fading circle edge. Mat the inked top card panel with a blue panel and lastly, to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
The Star Focal Point
Stamp the star image onto white cardstock, color it, and fussy cut. Next, print the sentiment for the Starry Christmas Card and cut it into a banner shape. Mat the sentiment to a slightly larger blue banner using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Adhere the star image and the sentiment to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle dimension. The thin foam is about 1/32-inch in height – half of 1/16-inch.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside
To add a sparkly effect to my Starry Christmas Card, I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Instead of hiding your adhesive in layers, you make your adhesive shine using them as embellishments!
First, randomly adhere some 3D Foam Stars to the card front. Remove the liner and cover with white glitter. Rub the glitter to secure and tap off the excess. Apply some E-Z Runner®Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card panel and cover them with silver glitter. Again tap off the excess glitter…it’s that easy!
To finish, add a touch of glitter to the star image. Simply apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen to the star, cover with glitter, tap off the excess, and let dry.
Voilá, this Adorable Starry Christmas Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a happy Christmas crafting!
