- Make top-folding 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base.
- Temporarily adhere card to scrap paper with washi tape and then adhere stencil on top with washi tape. (This will prevent anything from moving.)
- Apply Hero Arts Silver ink to stencil using a pouncing motion, remove stencil and heat set.
- Cut 5″ x 6″ panel of white cardstock and cover completely with Delicata ink by gently brushing your ink pad against the paper and heat set.
- Temporarily adhere Woodland Tree Silhouette to silver inked panel with washi tape and die cut.
- Adhere Woodland Tree Silhouette to card front using Tombow and Quickie Glue roller pen (for the tight spots).
- Color scrap of white paper with Copic R39 and die cut Resting Birds; adhere to card using foam circles.
- Color two more scraps of white paper with Copic R39 and die cut Alphabet Soup six times; adhere first layer of “Merry Christmas” to card, follow with second layer. (The QuickStik is truly invaluable for this part!)
- Adhere gems.

While making this card, I discovered that you can make your own shimmer paper by swabbing a heavy cardstock with Delicata ink and then heat setting.
Thanks for having me and have a blessed day!
