Hello and happy Sunday! Today I have a card that I created with the new Tiny Snowman Die and Holiday Wreath Circle Card Add On by Trinity Stamps. I decided that I would light up this card using the amazing Pearblossom Press EZ-Light Set.
For this card, I cut two of the smaller wreaths from the Holiday Wreath Circle Card Add On out of two different colors of green cardstock. Using the same die, I also cut some of the greenery included with it from the darker green cardstock. I also used the die to cut out the bow, berries and ornaments.
I made the little snowman using the Tiny Snowman Die. I cut this out of different colored cardstock. When I make these smaller die cuts, I apply double sided adhesive to the back of the cardstock to help me put those little pieces on without having to struggle with gluing them. I also like to work on a teflon sheet to build them. Once they are built, they are really easy to move in one piece to the project I am working on.
I used a couple of pieces for patterned paper for my background. They were cut to 5.5" x 4.25" and 5'25" x 4.0". I wanted to keep the sentiment very simple so I stamped and heat embossed it using black embossing powder. I used the Simply Sentimental: Christmas and Simply Sentimental: Merry stamps sets and their coordinating dies.
Once I had my card front made, I used my Pickup Stick Tool to make three holes in my wreath where I wanted my light to shine through.
Using a strong double sided adhesive tape, I adhered the button mechanism to the back of the card under where I had stamped the word "press". Then I used regular tape to tape the lights over the areas I had poked open.
