Nutcracker Christmas Card

 


I cut the front of my 8x8in white card in half (keep the removed half safe)

I added acetate to the back of the front on my card and then added the removed half onto the back to cover to create a neat finish.

I attached gold holographic card to the inside of the card and to the front of the card. I cut white card to size then stamped the nutcracker image using a Craft Buddy stamp. I coloured the image with pens. I added Craft Buddy magic glue to the design and then added crystals. I cut the ovals using Craft Buddy dies and stamped a sentiment to the ovals before attaching them to the acetate of my card. I added the same ovals onto the back of the acetate for a neat finish.
