Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the pretty Z-fold cards that use gorgeous scenic designer series paper for the card front? I used the sentiments from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper to make one for today. You can find the currently products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I started by cutting 3/4″ off the top of a 6″ x 6″ One Horse Open Sleigh panel so that it was 5-1/4″ x 6″. Then I cut 2″ off the right side so that I had a right side 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the card front and a 2″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the inside of the card. Since I chose a simple, serene icy blue landscape, I decided to dress it up a bit by adding some silver embossed trees.

I stamped the tree from the Horse and Sleigh stamp set in Versamark ink twice on the large panel and once on the small panel. I sprinkled the stamped trees with silver embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the large DSP panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue by applying the glue to the left half of the embossed panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on the right side of a Basic White panel and adhered the small embossed One Horse Open Sleigh DSP panel to the left side. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue and checked to make sure it was covered by the front DSP panel when the card was closed.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White strip and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered some adhesive strip to the back of a silver foil panel and cut the tree from the Horse and Sleigh dies. I peeled off the adhesive back and adhered it to the card front.

I tied a knot in a length of silver and white sheer ribbon and adhered it to the label with a glue dot. I adhered snowflakes and silver pearls to the card to finish.

Making a fun fold is a great way to make a handmade card extra special and this is a super simple design, especially when you have beautiful scenic designer series paper. I love how the back of the paper is also part of the card design. And the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set with it’s beautiful sentiments are the perfect compliment!
