Dove Christmas card

Dove Christmas card

Description

A double-fold card with a half circle cut and folded forward. A cut-out dove is mounted over this. It has a rectangle with a greetings sticker. The card is trimmed with silver strip and highlighted with glitter glue.

Materials used

  • Dark blue double fold greetings card 104mm x 152mm
  • Rubber stamp De Nami J22 Med. Dove (left)
  • White card
  • Silver inkpad
  • Silver embossing powder
  • Clear or Crystal glitter glue
  • Matt silver self-adhesive strip
  • Sticker No. 68 Season's Greetings
  • Double-sided self-adhesive foam pads
  • Blue star backing paper
  • Circle cutter

Method

Stamp the dove on white card with a tinted or silver ink pad and emboss with silver embossing powder. Following the stamped lines highlight the dove with clear/crystal glitter glue. When the glitter glue is dry cut the dove out.

On a rectangle of the same card fix a Seasons Greetings sticker. Trim the border with matt silver Mastermount self-adhesive strip.

Using a circle cutter, cut a half circle 7 cm in diameter into the top half of the centre panel of a dark blue double fold card. Score across the diameter of the circle and fold down the top half circle of the card. Fix it in position with a double-sided foam pad.

Fix a piece of blue star backing paper behind the half circle aperture.

With the inside of the card uppermost close the left hand side of the card over the backing paper/aperture and fix down.

Fix the dove in position with a foam pad.

Trim round the border of the card with matt silver Mastermount self-adhesive strip.
