Glittery Snowflake Holiday Card

Is anyone else busy huffing glitter in their craft rooms this time of year? There's something about the holiday cardmaking season that brings out my innate love of glitter and intensifies it to an all-time high. 


...

Sorry, I got distract by glitter for a second and had to stare at the photo above before I could continue.

Luckily, whether you are a glitter fan or not, STAMPlorations has you covered. Our Theme and Sketch Challenge has two great options for you to craft your heart out AND win some pretty sah-weet prizes. 

This month's theme is:


And this month's sketch is: 

You can choose to play along with either the theme or the sketch, or mash 'em together and play along with both! 



I made this sparkly background using Ken Oliver Color Burst crystals and covered it with a layer of Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel, smooshed through the Old Rose Prints mini stencil



I added some chipboard snowflakes, plus glittery snowflake embellishments and embossed a big ol' sentiment (Merry & Bright - Typografia Christmas) to complete this holiday card. 

All-in-all if you're looking for quick and stunning cards to send out this Holiday season, totally pin this design because it packs a big bold punch while being pretty simple to put together.

  2. Oh my... the texture and colours are fabulous on your background! I do love glitter but these days I prefer them in non-shedding card form. The men at home hate how glitter makes its way on their clothes and faces!

  6. What a gorgeous background, Becca! I love that Glitter Gel & need to use it more often! PS--so glad I could tempt you with the foil--haha! My favorite way to use it is just with adhesive backed foam--no need for a laminator, so really not a big investment. Does that help?!
