Foiled Snowflakes Bendi Card
For the card: Trace and cut the left flap paper pattern (found in the card package) from navy cardstock and the right flap paper pattern from light blue cardstock. Cut 5 5/8"x4 7/8" navy cardstock for the center panel.
Place the large cardstock on scrap paper. Squeeze some FlitterGlu onto the cosmetic wedge and rub it into the sponge with your finger. Tap the glue over the snowflakes stamp to cover it lightly (not too much glue—just until it has a thin coating of glue on it). Stamp the snowflakes onto the cardstock.
Reload the sponge with glue and repeat, spacing the snowflakes evenly over the cardstock and extending off the edges. While the glue is still wet, drop metal flakes onto the surface and press in place with your fingers. See the tip above for removing the excess flakes.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the remaining two cardstock pieces. Use a clean cosmetic wedge to lightly rub Gold ink along the edges of the cardstock pieces. Glue the large cardstock centered on the inside back and the remaining pieces centered on the appropriate panels. Open the card and turn it over. Re-cut the slit in the center panel. Also re-cut the slit in the right panel.
Place Dazzles™ stickers on all the stamped snowflakes, matching the designs. Die cut a 4¼"x1 5/8" label from navy cardstock and one from light blue cardstock. Stamp “holly jolly” on the right end of the light blue label with VersaMark™ ink and cover with embossing powder. Tap off the excess powder and heat to melt the remainder. Trim to 2 1/8" long and glue to the left front as shown.
Stamp and emboss “season’s greetings” on the left end of the navy label, then trim to 2¾" long. Glue to the right front as shown. Die cut a 3½"x2" label from light blue cardstock, then stamp and emboss “merry & bright” on it. Foam tape on the center panel at the upper left so it can be seen above the front panels.
Stamp and emboss “we wish you…” on light blue cardstock and trim to 2½"x2¾". Mat on white cardstock with 1/16" borders then glue to the center panel at the lower right so it’s hidden by the right panel.
