Holiday Card Series 2025 – Day 3 – Two Cards that Sparkle

Happy Wednesday! Today is Day 3 of the Holiday Card Series and I’m sharing two cards. These cards were actually created back in August so I’m super excited to finally be sharing them with you! On these cards, I wanted to incorporate sparkle and glitter.

For the first card, I created custom glitter paste by mixing Distress Reinkers into paste and applied it over my Gradual Dots stencils. And for the second card, I used my A2 Thin Frames Dies to cut a large rectangle of red glitter cardstock, and then adhere three stems from my Winter Greenery stamp set on top. I finished it off withe a diecut greeting from my Winter Greenery Background Dies.

Enjoy!
