Hello and welcome back, crafty friends! Dee here today, sharing this clean and simple card featuring the gorgeous Meridian Ornament Layer Set!
To create the base, I embossed an A2-sized white panel using the Memory Box Ringadings embossing folder, then adhered it onto the top folding card base.
Next, I cut the Meridian Ornament Layer dies in white, mirror gold, and gold glitter cardstock. Once complete, I adhered the layers together and then onto the center of the background. I cut the bow and ornament cap from the Christmas Ornament Pop-Up Easel set, then adhered them onto the ornament. To finish, I added a few gold embellishments and a simple sentiment strip from my stash!
Thanks for stopping by! Today I’m sharing holiday card that is loaded with lots sparkle and shine because it’s almost entirely coated with GLITTER! But not the messy kind! This card was made with WOW! Embossing powder with glitter!
I feel fairly accomplished at ink blending so I thought I’d give some glitter blending a try! I selected glittery embossing powders from WOW! Just their names sound delicous! Mai Tai, Strawbery Daiquiri and Punch!
I used an ink blending brush to apply embossing ink to a white panel of cardstock to help avoid straight harsh lines. I applied one color at a time. This gave me the ability to keep it clean by holding opposite ends as the heat melted the powder, and to do some overlapping if necessary.
My paper was quite curly after heating the powder. No worries because when I cut the Flicker Frames they came out nice and flat. I reserved the space in the center to cut a background for the ornament I placed inside the window.
I alternated glitter and white cardstock to help define the ornament. It’s gorgeous! I hadn’t realized that the ornament I used was no longer available.. but there are several others in stock that will fit in the frame perfectly like the Flicker, Meridian, Twinkle, Belle, and Marisol – and they’re all on SALE! The Flicker Frame set is more than 50% off at $30! (regular price $79) .
I love the non traditionally colors and swoon! All that sparkle! A simple “merry christmas” sentiment is the finishing touch!
I hope you feel inspired to try this embossing powder blending. It’s magic when the powder comes to life and melts!
