Card Details

Do you want to capture that feeling of a glittery Christmas on your cards? I want to help you turn your crafting stress into success. Let’s talk about the ways to add glimmer and shine to your Christmas cards.

This card uses actual silver glimmer paper to add sparkle and shine. It was used for some of the flags coming from the main banner and also as a frame behind the deer image.

Next, heat embossing the sentiment in silver added more glimmer. And, the embellishments you choose to finish your card with can add even more sparkle and shine.

Finally, I added some wink of stella to add a glimmer outline around the deer and on the berries, leaves, and trees in the DSP flags at the bottom of the card.

I chose to use silver glimmer paper for this card because I wanted a bit of silver and glitter going on. There is no silver glimmer paper currently available in the online store. But, there is glimmer paper of lots of other colors and foils available to add glimmer, including silver foil.
