Looking for a simple Christmas card to whip up at the last minute? This is just the card for you. We made this at club last night, and I think most people completed it in five minutes or less.
Tips & Tricks
- It doesn't show up well in this picture, but check out the all-Crumb Cake version I made below...you'll see that there is a slight shimmer to the card. I used to love to use shimmer paint and alcohol to create a sparkly look. Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! no longer sells shimmer paint. However, you can get a very similar, although a bit more subtle look using the Illuminate refill ink with alcohol. Simply fill a spritzer mostly full with rubbing alcohol and add some refill ink. I don't have specific measurements...you'll just need to experiment until you get the look you desire. The spritz the entire card front for a shimmery finish to your card.
- The rhinestones give this card the added touch of elegance that takes it from pretty to beautiful. Those four little rhinestones pack a big punch for a small investment!
