Book Binder Christmas Card

Hi Crafty Friends : )

Well I thought that I had already shown you this card, but I have not. So here it is now made with the Holly & Ivy paper.

So here are the measurements and video:

Book Binding Card

Harbour Card stock: 11” x 4-1/4”

Harbour Strip: 3-1/4″ x 3/4″

Score on the 11” side @ 4-1/4” & 5-1/2”

Holly & Ivy Paper Panels: 4” x 4″

Holly & Ivy strip: 4″ x 1/4″

Scarlet Strip: 4″ x 1″

Harbour Glitter paper: 3-3/4″ x 3/4″

White Daisy squares:

  • 4” x 4”
  • 3-3/4” x 3-3/4”

2-1/2″ Circle Thin Cut Die

Stamp sets: For All Occasions-D2052 & Merry Christmas Flourish-M1298

Gold Shimmer Brush or Scarlet Shimmer Brush

Harbour Ink

Versa-Mark ink

Anti-static Powder pouch (to remove the static from the card stock)

Gold Embossing Powder

Heat Gun

1 small Bow for the top of the circle

  1. Fold and score all the score lines.
  2. Adhere the 1-1/4” inside section to the inside of the card along the fold lines.
  3. Adhere the Scarlet strip along with the Harbour Giltter paper strip to the side front section.
  4. Adhere the paper panel to the front of the card.
  5. Place the 2-1/2″ circle die in the middle of the 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ White Daisy square and cut the middle out.
  6. Place the white Daisy square with the middle cut out, onto a piece of copy paper and using the shimmer brush, splatter the White Daisy square.
  7. Adhere this 3-3/4” White Daisy square to front of the card with 3-D foam dots.
  8. Rub the Powder pad over the top of the Harbour strip to set it ready for the Versa-Mark Ink ( this removes all the static from the card stock along with the oil from your fingers).
  9. Stamp the greeting to the middle of the 3-1/4” square in the Versa- Mark Ink and sprinkle over the top with your Gold Embossing Powder (make sure that you have a piece of copy paper down to catch the excess powder). Tap of the excess (and place back in to its container) use a Heat Gun to set it from a powder to a solid.
  10. place 3-D foam dots to the middle back of this strip and place it in the middle of the circle cut out.
  11. stamp the Merry Christmas in Harbour ink and adhere the strip down the left hand side, and adhere to the inside of the card.
  12. Using Glue Dots, adhere the Bow to the top of the Circle cut out (so that it looks like a Christmas decoration.

                                                                                                             

The original idea for this card style comes from Pinterest.

This Card is made with the Scarlet as the Card Base.

Well I hope that you like my version of the Book Binder card and give it a go.

So till next time…..

Happy Crafting and bye for now.
