Hello friends. This card was inspired by Daniel West’s card tutorial for the Baking Spirits Bright Virtual Retreat! This card uses glitter embossing powder to easily add sparkle to the background. It didn’t take very long to make and the end result is so pretty!
For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. I also cut a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″ and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-3/4 x 5″.
I stamped the snowflakes from the Baking Spirits Bright stampset with CP Wintergreen, Tranquil, Stone Blue, and Sea Glass Inks onto the front panel then stamped the details with Versamark Ink and embossed with Wow Wanderlust Embossing Powder.
I stamped the sentiment from the CP Here We Go A Caroling Stampset (retired) onto a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Rouge Ink and cut it to 1-1/16 x 5″. I also added a strip of pattern paper from the CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper behind it.
Next, I stamped a snowflake onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Wintergreen Ink and Sea Glass Ink and die cut it with the coordinating dies. Then embellished it with some Wow Sparkling Sugar Sparkles Glitter.
On the inside of the card I cut a piece of pattern paper to 1-7/8 x 5-1/2″ and another to 1 x 5- 1/2″. I stamped a sentiment from the CP Baking Spirits Bright stampset with CP Sea Glass Ink and added a snowflake with CP Tranquil Ink.
