Tipsy Baubles

Hello once again. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new ‘anything goes Christmas‘ challenge. Here is my card:

I chose to go with a slimline card so I could arrange three of these large baubles from Spellbinders. I first die cut all the elements for the baubles in red, gold, and black, then assembled them before I thought of the background.

I did think of adding a panel to a white card base, but just to make things a teensy bit more difficult for me, I used a black card base. This was too plain, so I dry embossed the card front using a Spellbinders embossing folder. These embossing folders are large, they measure 3.5 x 8.5 inches, so virtually any card size could be used this way – you just have to make sure the edge of the embossing folder meets the fold of the card base just right….

I toyed with the idea of adding twine to the top of the baubles but I had no-where for the twine to adhere on the back as this was the actual card front. So I adhered with 3D foam and at a jaunty angle.

No sentiment for this card. I’ll attach a white panel on the inside when it comes time to send this, and add a verse or sentiment that way.

I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations. xx

    This is a great card and those bauble are amazing on the black background. An idea for you to try that includes cord. Thread it through the ring on one and tie it then take the cord behind the next one and thread again before doing the same thing to the third one. You can then add the cord to the card front very easily. In the past, I’ve cut a tiny slit and pushed the thread into it so it doesn’t slip.
