I opened the pre-coloured digital stamp in Silhouette Studio and sized it to 5" square then printed on textured cardstock. I trimmed the image panel down to size, adhered to Scuba weave cardstock, then trimmed to a <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/16</span>" matting layer with a Perfect Layers Ruler. I cut a 6" panel of </span><span style="text-align: left;">Rose weave cardstock, adhered to a 6" card base, then adhered the matted image panel on top. The matting layers add nice dimension and the colours complement the image perfectly.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next came the sparkle. Making our 2023 Christmas cards reignited my love of using Wink of Stella Glitter Brushes. I used the White brush to add sparkle to the pink chemical and hearty steam bubbling away and the Clear brush to add sparkle to all the other chemicals. It's such a delicate sparkle and mess free, no chunks of glitter falling off and spreading sparkle everywhere but where you want it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The default size makes a 5 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" square card and the largest piece fits neatly on a 12"x12" sheet of cardstock. I cut all the pieces and all I had to do was burnish the folds and glue all the layers in place. I assure you, doing that was much easier than choosing what colours and patterned paper to use.

I was inspired and I thoroughly enjoyed making some of these fancy folds too. I used the design and dimensions shared by Beccy, then combined </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">several elements from the </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/jingle-bells-digital-stamps/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Jingle Bell digital stamp set</span></a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> by </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Beccy’s Place</span></a><span style="font-weight: normal;">. The ones I used include the "Paper White" digital paper, </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Merry Little Christmas" digital sentiment and the </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">"Bells with Bow and Pine", the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bell Top Corner" and the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bell Lower Corner" pre-coloured digital stamps</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">There are so many images and sentiments in this delightful set that it's impossible to choose just one, so it was only fitting that I got to combine so many in this card design. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I created a second sentiment panel by combining two different fonts (<i>details below</i>) instead of having two image panels. Two sets of card panels fit on a 12"x12" cardstock sheets, so of course I had to make two. Once all the panels were set up, I printed the patterned paper and sentiment panels on white textured cardstock and cut them to size. I cut the card bases, scored the folds and cut the other panels to size too. Once all the pieces were ready, I adhered the layers, burnished the folds and was thrilled to have made two more of these lovely W-V-fold cards, Thank You Beccy.</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was inspired and I thoroughly enjoyed making some of these fancy folds too. I used the design and dimensions shared by Beccy, then combined </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">several elements from the </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/jingle-bells-digital-stamps/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Jingle Bell digital stamp set</span></a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> by </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Beccy’s Place</span></a><span style="font-weight: normal;">. The ones I used include the "Paper White" digital paper, </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Merry Little Christmas" digital sentiment and the </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">"Bells with Bow and Pine", the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bell Top Corner" and the "</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bell Lower Corner" pre-coloured digital stamps</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">There are so many images and sentiments in this delightful set that it's impossible to choose just one, so it was only fitting that I got to combine so many in this card design. I created a second sentiment panel by combining two different fonts (<i>details below</i>) instead of having two image panels. Two sets of card panels fit on a 12"x12" cardstock sheets, so of course I had to make two. Once all the panels were </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">set up, I printed the patterned paper and sentiment panels on white textured cardstock and cut them to size. I cut the card bases, scored the folds and cut the other panels to size too. Once all the pieces were ready, I adhered the layers, burnished the folds and was thrilled to have made my very first W-V-fold cards, Thank You Beccy.</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

To make it easier for me to prepare the activity kits, I decided to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut the holes and panels for the tree bases. I have plenty of white Letter sized 300gsm cardstock in my stash, so the size was easily decided. To take it up a level, as creative Little Hands love making cards, I worked out how these tree panels could become Christmas cards too. Starting with a 5" x 8" panel, I spaced five <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/8</span>" circles across the panel, 1" from the bottom. I added a <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/4</span>" circle to the middle of the panel, 1" from the top. I cut a bundle of the tree panels (<i>more than twenty</i>), with two panels fitting on each sheet of cardstock. While they were cutting, I scored and folded a bundle of "half Letter" card bases. I cut a bundle of stars from gold glitter cardstock to top the trees too. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Once all the panels and stars were cut and the card bases folded, I gathered up my stash of pipe cleaners and Pony beads. </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">The Pony beads have a nice sized hole for threading pipe cleaners.</i></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;">As always, I had to give the activity a trial run to make sure it would work OK and it was lucky that I did. The pipe cleaners fitted through the holes perfectly, the beads threaded perfectly and the tape secured the bent ends of the pipe cleaners on the back of the panel securely. Unfortunately, even though I used heavy weight 300gsm cardstock, it felt pretty flimsy while threading the pipe cleaners and the panel didn't sit flat. Instead of making each panel double-layered, I adhered a panel of "packaging board" behind the panel, in the section between the top large hole and five lower holes, to reinforce it and worked great, keeping the panel flat and sturdy. (</span><i style="font-weight: normal;">Note to self: encourage husband to eat more cornflakes, the boxes are ever-so-handy.</i><span style="font-weight: normal;">) I popped a gold star on the top of the tree using foam squares beside the bulk of pipe cleaners going through the one hole.</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRBM0Hf741ZdIzsGsPWHb8B0FY91RHnRFAOa_WnQR9tm8vIY8oF8hNBeOQdZnmLdhUUbh8_o9nltLPqOP_Ub76YxTGVmkphUbnBvi5wNnFYjvaPoP2OD1erSKsMQ1TyV3U0ymDx9N-hOVIWSEh4O1L5ujHXSxciT3H2rxV2co5ddxC0zuRROzRhV0oicR/s2904/4%2020231126_102616%20cropped.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2904" data-original-width="2904" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRBM0Hf741ZdIzsGsPWHb8B0FY91RHnRFAOa_WnQR9tm8vIY8oF8hNBeOQdZnmLdhUUbh8_o9nltLPqOP_Ub76YxTGVmkphUbnBvi5wNnFYjvaPoP2OD1erSKsMQ1TyV3U0ymDx9N-hOVIWSEh4O1L5ujHXSxciT3H2rxV2co5ddxC0zuRROzRhV0oicR/w400-h400/4%2020231126_102616%20cropped.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>... lots of panels ready and waiting for some pipe cleaner action!</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcucQ7e4RxG7NIqIOBt_BY8NZclRI-McskK7p5EbnQA5f1Y5RIjPyiP7Lnhp5Ak5Qo70OqWQjTT1dJ2w3MH4ivX_tYz0grubdkelb3ABtPUgEGILkz8aZCeRJtn2o58erCDcAxxR8M6K1aRNhZsVjc6wCbgO1j4aCrkQflZ59BKPX628hHyAtMZgeC_r9g/s2938/5%2020231126_102852%20cropped.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2099" data-original-width="2938" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcucQ7e4RxG7NIqIOBt_BY8NZclRI-McskK7p5EbnQA5f1Y5RIjPyiP7Lnhp5Ak5Qo70OqWQjTT1dJ2w3MH4ivX_tYz0grubdkelb3ABtPUgEGILkz8aZCeRJtn2o58erCDcAxxR8M6K1aRNhZsVjc6wCbgO1j4aCrkQflZ59BKPX628hHyAtMZgeC_r9g/w400-h286/5%2020231126_102852%20cropped.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;">I also tested making it into a card by securing foam tape and squares to the back of the tree panel.
