Merry Christmas

Hello crafters!  I have a shaker card to share with you today.  I started by cutting a multi-layered frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles.  I cut a wider red frame and added a thinner white frame on top.  I glued a piece of acetate to the back of the frame then added mounting foam all the way around it.  While the frame was sitting upside down, I added some Crystal Stars to it, then sealed it with another piece of acetate.  I cut the Christmas Big Bold Word out of white card and glued it to the front of the acetate in the frame.  I covered a piece of red card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then coated it with Fire Red Polished Silk Glitter.  I cut the Christmas word die out of it, then used the fall away pieces and paper pieced it back into the die cut I glued to the acetate.  I stamped the word merry and cut it out and added it to the top of the frame with mounting foam.    I cut a small holly and added some red berries to it then added it to the lower corner of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

MARGARET R. I hope you read my reply re Sue's caught in crystal technique it's attached to your post yesterday.

Morning Sue and all that visit. What a lovely bold start to the week, I do love red and sparkle together especially the beautiful depth of the silk glitter, this polished silk glitter has the most amazing quality the best ever it's so soft you can barely feel it on your finger unlike the horrible scratchy stuff that falls off and sheds and makes a horrible mess. I was thinking of ordering this die set but I've treated myself to the most recent Happy/Merry Christmas with the sprig of holly and if market returns to normal next year then it's on my list. If you need to update your glitter for this year festive cards etc then these fine Silk Glitters are the nicest you'll find on the market.
A beautiful sample today Sue one that in real life would sparkle like we've never seen before. Love and caring hugs to each and everyone of you from me xxx
