Glitter Foil Snowflake Center Step Card

I was so in love with the recent Glitter snowflake card that I made last week I got this fabulous idea to recreate it in a step card style and give a whole new look and I am so very happy with how it turned out!

I made a Center Step card big enough to handle the create a card die cut panel... it sticks up higher than the card base but that works out fine.  The card when folded is pretty large 6" tall X 6 1/2" wide so I definitely need to make my own envelope for it lol.  

For the center panel I cut the card front die out of the light purple glitter sticker paper that I had adhered to cardstock first.  I then cut a smaller square of dark purple glitter paper using the same process but I just cut it big enough to fit around the large snowflake that I wanted to layer and ran through big shot again.  I then took my scissors and cut away everything around that snowflake.  Then I attached it in its place on top of the light Purple.  I then attached it to light blue designer paper and added the silver foil frame on front.  I realized that it needed a solid white cardstock backer behind entire panel so you can't see through the top portion....I then mounted the entire panel centered on the card front.  For the sides I cut 2 of the Ornament panels in dark purple glitter, backed them with the same light blue designer paper and then cut them down on the bottoms to fit the card.  I cut 2 of the embossed Ornaments from light purple glitter and then I backed with silver foil.  oh yeah, I trimmed of the bow tops that cut with the ornament and added a small bow die cut from dark purple glitter paper.  I also added a glitter enamel dot (YNS Gumdrops) to the center of each tiny bow that was originally glitter white that I colored with my spectrum noir LV3.   I also cut a different smaller snowflake from the light purple glitter cardstock and attached it only in the center of the big dark purple snowflake so it could be more 3-D and added an enamel glitter dot (YNS Gumdrops) that was originally lavender that I colored with my spectrum noir LV3.  I cut the Merry Christmas word from Dark purple Glitter paper as well.

For the inside I used the same light blue designer backing paper from the front.  I used a stitched rectangle die and the same small snowflake die at the same time to create my sentiment mat.  I added another colored gumdrop to the snowflake.

Glitter Snowflake Merry Christmas Card

 I love this beautiful snowflake card front die.  This was a fun easy card to make… I spent more time weeding out the tiny pieces from the snowflake die cut then anything else I think lol.  So I got this pretty glitter sticker paper from the dollar tree… the trick to die cutting this stuff is to peel off the backing and place it on cardstock FIRST and then die cut…. Perfect cut every time, even on an intricate die like this.

Ok so I cut the card front die out of the blue glitter sticker paper that I had adhered to cardstock.  I then cut a smaller square of purple glitter paper using the same process but I just cut it big enough to fit around the large snowflake that I wanted to layer and ran through big shot again.  I then took my scissors and cut away everything around that snowflake.  Then I attached it in its place on top of the blue.  I adhered it flat over the original snowflake, it really pops that particular snowflake out from all of the rest.  I then cut another smaller die snowflake from the blue glitter paper to layer on top, this time only gluing in the center so it can be lifted and more 3-D.   I cut a frame to fit around the pretty snowflake card front from white cardstock…. It seemed a little to plain so I ran it though an embossing folder to give it some texture.  I backed the card front onto this pretty lavender designer paper. And then mounted to a white card base.  I cut the Merry Christmas word Die from the same purple glitter paper and for one last touch I added a white glitter gem to the center of the layered snowflake that I had colored with a purple spectrum noir alcohol marker - LV3.

For the inside I kept it simple and used the same designer paper that I backed the front with, this time using a stitched die to cut it out and stamped my sentiments inside.   And for a final touch I took one of the extra pieces from the extra purple snowflake cutaway and attached it at the top inside above sentiment.  Oh yeah and I took another small snowflake die from my stash that cuts a cute shape out of the center and cut from blue glitter paper and only used that center to top off the inside purple snowflake.
