Hiya, It's lovely to have a gentle push to remind us all to get started on our Christmas Cards - that's why I love 'Christmas in July' events! My first Christmas card of the year is the Cardinal Card from Simply Crafty SVGs. I was able to use one of my favourite craft supplies - glitter paper! Assembly of this 3D card is very straightforward, and if you need some help you can watch Simply Crafty SVG's Cardinal Card assembly video instructions. I love to craft along with Sandy's videos.
Materials Used:
American Crafts Medium Weight Textured Cardstock (White, Grey)
Lawn Fawn Cardstock (Peacock)
Patterned Paper
Silver Glitter Paper (Red, White, Gold)
Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive
Silhouette Cameo + Designer Edition Software (or other digital cutter)
Printer (for the Print & Cut sentiment)
File Used:
Simply Crafty SVGs Cardinal Card
DETAILS
Cardinal
This little fella was fun to layer up using the glitter paper. I cut an extra white cardstock bird to act as a base as my glitter paper is a little flimsy. It's a shame that the layers don't show up in the photo
o, as they are so lovely.
Trees
For the birch trees I layered white glitter paper over dark grey card. Birch are some of my favourite trees, and I love using them in my craft projects.
Sentiment
I used one of the included sentiment strips, duplicating it in different colours to have a range of colours to see which one looked best.
I didn't achieve a good match for the peacock card and decided that the black looked good, tying in with the black of the bird's beak nicely.
Assembly
Assembly was very straightforward - these cards will be great to make en masse for sending out to friends this Christmas.
