Letterpress Winter Class: Season’s Greetings Cards

I've already shown details about the awesome Snowflake Flip Cards that come in the kit! You'll create three of each of the above, fancy flip-style, snowflake cards!

Background Basics—I started with a vertically cut, 4-1/4" x 11" card base from Pool Party card stock.  You don't need much of the All Is Calm Designer Series Paper to bring in that beautiful, wintery color combination.  I added a 4-1/4" x 1" strip of the polka dotted pattern to the top of the card front, and adhered a piece of 4-1/4" x 1-1/2" Pear Pizzazz snowfalke print on the bottom.

Season's Greetings—The gorgeous rectangle flourished frame is stamped on a piece of 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" Whisper White with Pool Party ink.  I stamped the sentiment in the center with Old Olive ink.  It was super-easy to position the words perfectly because of the all-clear, photopolymer style stamps! 

Silver Sequins—Once the focal point was adhered to the card front, I added some silver sequins from the Frosted Sequins pack around the frame border with Multipurpose Glue.  They added a lovely touch of shine to the card!

Finishing Touches—I added more silver shine with a 4-1/4" x 3/8" strip of Silver Foil along the lower paper seam.  That little silver piece gives the card a little extra "weight" at the bottom for design balance and also makes it look clean, crisp and nicely finished!

Finally, I tied a small bow with 1/4" Whisper White Cotton Ribbon and adhered it to the card with a Glue Dot. 

Two Cool—You know I typically like to give you two cool options with the design.  On this version, I've taken all of the same elements and arranged them on a horizontal card. 

I adhered the All Is Calm papers side-by-side with the Silver Foil over their seam for a lovely background.

I also changed the sentiment color to Real Red so that it really pops!  The Frosted Sequins are arranged a little differently, too.

The bow is off-set to compliment the off-set background patterns.  I love how a little re-positioning makes this card look completely different!  Class participants can choose their favorite design for all six cards, or do multiples of each style!
