December Team Member Card ~Starring Lights Aglow and Twinkling Lights Dies



All my team members will get this card in December!
Find out how to get yours below!

I can't believe that I am about to share a card that has NO STAMPING on it, but here it goes!



                                       

This card has also been entered in the Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Gallery and I humbly ask that you click on the image below and vote for me.  If my card wins, I get to enter another card to be showcased with the other 9 winners in a special blog hop with Kylie!!!    Thank you!!


Dies:

Twinkling Lights

Cardstock:

Cherry Cobbler base- cut to 5½" x 8½", scored at 4¼" 
Soft Succulent- 3⅝" x 3⅞"
Very Vanilla - scrap piece

DSP/Specialty Paper:

Lights Aglow - cut into ½" strips
Lights Aglow - cut background piece to 4" x 5¼" 
Glimmer Specialty paper  (gold piece) - 3½" x 3¾"

Embellishments:

Festive Pearls

  • Adhere the large piece of Lights Aglow DSP to your cardbase.
  • Apply your strips to the gold glimmer paper using a weave/lattice pattern (as shown). You will need to use mini glue dots to adhere the DSP strips to the glimmer paper once your design is set. Cut the excess strips off around your glimmer paper.


  • Adhere the glimmer paper to the Soft Succulent Cardstock.
  • Add strip at the bottom of your cardfront.
  • Cut your snowflake from Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Before cutting, nest the snowflake design into the large snowflake outline to cut both at once.
  • Apply your snowflake with dimensionals.
  • Add Festive Pearl embellishments.

I know, simple right???  Don't tell anyone! But looks so festive and elegant! 

Let's talk for a sec! Here are a few key facts you need to know!
