This very sparkly card was inspired by a video on youtube by Jan B.
I changed a few things on this card, the first being the size. This card is 7 x 5 inches Jan's card I think is 6 X 4 inches. I have more green trees on this card. Jan has just two.
Jan's sentiment is larger and is in the centre of the foreground.
Jan stuck a torn strip of white card across the bottom of the card for snow.
I didn't bother with that bit. I masked of the bottom of the card with post it's while stamping. Once I had stamped the trees I removed the masks and smeared some ink in the foreground with the edge of a sponge dauber.
Jan used a Sizzex adhesive sheets to cover the front with adhesive before dunking the whole thing in dazzling diamonds glitter.
I didn't have the adhesive strips so I used my Xyron 510 adhesive machine to apply a the dry adhesive.
I have to say using the Xyron adhesive worked out a little cheaper.
I paid £10. 24 for a 5.5 metre cartridge (18ft ) of adhesive from Amazon, whereas the Sizzex adhesive sheets from S.U cost £9.95 for sheets totalling
12 ft. Both types of adhesives are approximately 6" wide.
Another reason for me to use Xyron was because I could get a couple of cartidges delivered the next day rather than waiting a week to get the sheets from S.U.
There was no P&P on my Amazon order either, so it was a no brainer really.
