Christmas Star Diamond Fold

In class today I was teaching a diamond fold card I had made previously.  I made a card base myself to demonstrate the method and after class I used the Star of Light Bundle to quickly finish the card.

Red, black and silver are quite a dramatic combination

I added a layer of Silver Foil Sheet followed by a layer of Basic Black cardstock.  For the side pieces, I heat embossed the swirl in silver before I stuck them into position.  

I heat embossed the star onto Silver Foil Sheet using the lovely Red Glitter Embossing Powder before cutting it out with the matching die.  I adhered the star to the centre of the card and added a few silver sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment.  I placed a silver sequin to the centre of the star and placed a Real Red Enamel Dot into the middle of it.

I heat embossed two smaller stars in the same way as the large star and cut them out with the matching die and I also used the smallest star die to cut some Silver Foil Sheet.  I adhered these to the side pieces with some more silver sequins.

The card is so bouncy that I had to used clips to hold it closed for the photograph!

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

    1. Thank you, Donna! I'm a BIG fan of red & black and I like to mix up traditional and non-traditional Christmas colours.
