Hello again, Kim Lippincott here today for ScraPerfect to share one of my latest projects with you and it will get you in the holiday spirit! I am thinking about gift giving and designed a card that will make a great Christmas gift. Here is a photo of my vintage inspired shabby chic holiday card:
To make this card, I gathered my supplies and my bottle of the Best Glue Ever with the large
No Clog Writing Cap on top and got started. I used tiny dots of the Best Glue Ever on the back of each piece of background paper I selected and secured them to my red textured card base in layers. My layers included: printed card stock, torn coffee dyed paper, printed vellum, and a white heart shaped paper doily.
Next, I placed foam dots on the back of the image I chose (which I swiped with ink) for dimension and attached to the center of my card.
Now is my favorite part, time to add embellishments! I used a thin solid line of the Best Glue Ever along the top and bottom edges of my layered papers and then added vintage white sequin trim.
I used a brush to add glossy accents to parts of the image that I wanted to give an extra winter flair too and dusted those areas with diamond glitter glass to resemble snow. After tapping off the excess, I added red threaded vintage buttons to the corners of my card by using a small glue dot made from the Best Glue Ever. When using glue dots, always wait a few minutes for them to cure and become clear before adding your embellishments for maximum hold.
