More holiday fun with a holiday card with bonus ornament using fun products from CutCardstock.
I had way too much fun creating this holiday card with a decorated envelope PLUS a cute sparkly ornament! Loving the cool blue of this creation!
Let’s talk first about creating the card! I actually started with the snowflake ornament. Using Curious Metallic Aquamarine Cardstock, I cut and embossed the snowflake using one of Tim Holtz’s Bigz dies from Sizzix. A touch of Ranger’s Embossing Ink plus Broken China Embossing Glaze adds just the sparkly I was seeking!
The twisted silver cord makes the perfect hanger! The sentiment circles are from Simon Says Stamps on Cougar 80 lb CardStock.
My next challenge was to decide how I wanted to present the snowflake on the card. Finally decided to add a corner large enough to support the ornament. I started with Curious Metallic Ice Silver Cardstock for both the holder and the base. Note I did use Curious Metallic Peacock for the A2 base cover plus the decorations.

Check out the sparkly background! Created this beauty made by pushing Nuvo Glacier Paste through a snowflake stencil! Just adds more sparkly goodness!
Of course, a card this sparkly deserves a decorated envelope to be mailed in! This is a Stardream Metallic Bluebell Envelope decorated with Broken China Distress Ink blended through the same stencil.
Thanks so much for stopping by today to see how I made this holiday card with bonus ornament! I’d love to have you follow/subscribe on my social media sites Instagram, Facebook, Blogger, and YouTube. Be well. Be creative!
