Lights Aglow Fun Fold Card & Video
Lights Aglow Designer Series paper is Stunning and no matter what card design you make it with it, it will be Beautiful. I wanted to make this Fun Fold card as I really like it. What better to go on it than the Snowflake from the Lights Aglow Suite Collection. The dies are unique and different from other most Suite Collections. The dies cut out tiny little holes in the designs. Adding Glitter Paper behind these cutouts adds a shiny dimension to the look. Who wouldn’t love receiving this card for Christmas!
I’m thinking that this Suite would also make a beautiful shadow box with lights behind the cut out pieces. This is really a fun Collection to use with many possibilities. I hope you enjoy this card.
Let’s Get Started
- Fold the Card Base on all the Score lines, burnish each one with Bone Folder.
- Adhere 3-3/4” x 5-1/4” DSP to right side of Card Base.
- Attached the 1-1/4” x 5-1/4” DSP to the first four section on the left side of Card Base.
- Using the 6” x 3-3/4” Soft Succulent Cardstock, fold on score line and burnish with Bone Folder. Adhere Vanilla & Gold DSP to left front side. For the right side center the larger circle die from the Labels Aglow Dies on the Evergreen DSP from the Lights Aglow DSP and cut it out on the Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere this to a piece of Gold Glimmer Specialty Paper and attach to right side of the Soft Succulent cardstock.
- Heat emboss the “Joy” stamp in Gold Embossing Powder from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut out with small circle die from the Labels Aglow Die set. Adhere with Dimensionals to circle area on the right-hand side of the Soft Succulent section.
- Now adhere the Soft Succulent section to the Card Base. Adhere the right side first using Stampin’ Seal or Tear N Tape, you will put 2 strips of tape on each side as you adhere that side. The best way is to center the right side on the back piece, open it up and fold down the section that adheres to it. Add the adhesive to the left side now, fold the sections so they are closed up and fold the soft succulent left side over onto the top section. The video is very helpful if you’re having trouble understanding this.
- Cut the Snowflake out of Gold Glitter Paper using the two piece die from the Labels Twinkling Lights Dies. The detailed die will fit inside the outer die to cut at the same time. Adhere to card front using Glue Dots.
- Tie the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon around the 1st section of Card Base positioning the bow near the top.
- Stamp the “Season Greetings” stamp in Evening Evergreen Ink and cut out with the corresponding die. Adhere to Card Front with Mini Dimensionals.
- Stamp inside Greeting in Evening Evergreen Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. Adhere to Soft Succulent panel. Adhere to right side of card positioning it so the Soft Succulent piece on card front covers it.
- Add Festive Pearls to Card Front.
Now you have a beautiful Christmas card to brighten someone’s Season.
Happy Stamping!
