Twelve Days of Christmas – Day 11

Yesterday was all about gold, and today on my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour, it’s silver’s turn to shine! I’m back with the hot foil system to show you how a little silver foil can give your Christmas cards a gorgeous sparkle.

The silver running through the plaid specialty paper inspired this book binding fun fold. I reached for the same Twinkling Tidings Hot Foil Die I used yesterday and switched to silver foil for the tree details and greeting. The silver in both elements really ties it all together!

I used the A Christmas Wish Hot Foil Die to apply two silver snowflakes on Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstock. Then the first snowflake was fussy cut out and I used the coordinating die from the bundle to cut the greeting from the second. I popped the greeting up on the first snowflake with dimensionals so it stands out.

To finish the card, I embossed a white panel with the Dreamy Snowflakes Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love how that snowy texture sets off the silver foil!

Cutting Directions for a Book Binding Fold:

• Card Base: 4 1/4″ x 11, score at 4″ and 5 1/2″
• Fold card in at 5 1/2″ score line. Fold at 4″ score line to the left and burnish for nice creases.
• After adding any papers or ribbon to the card, apply glue or Tear & Tape to the 1 1/2″ section inside the card, press together to create the book binding fold.

Supplies:

I can’t believe tomorrow is already Day 12 of my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour! I’m wrapping things up with a card for all my fellow coloring fans. Grab your favorite coloring tools and join me for one last Christmas card!

Happy Stamping!
