Two Shimmer and Shine Christmas cards

In the swing of things this week.... ideas pop into your head when you're delving into your supplies and I've come up with two cards... all shiny too


  • For this card I found some lovely shiny foil patterned paper in my stash 
  • Die cut this bauble from Memory Box: Cabrini Ornament, in white card and watercoloured with Distress Inks - Candied apple, Mown lawn, Fossilised amber.   Then painted over with Magical Micas - Peony scarlet, Bells of Ireland, Yellow rose of Texas to give it some real shimmer.
  • Die cut the sentiment - Memory Box - Sophisticated Snowflakes set, from silver glitter card
  • Assembled the elements on a white card and attached the bauble with foam tape



  • My second card is a shiny star die cut from Australian Simply Cards: Fancy Festive Star Nesting set.  I cut it into white card panel and then die cut the shape with the outline die to make a mask and lightly spritzed with Mister Huey's Shine
  • I cut a piece of gold holographic card to place behind the star and then also the sentiment from Kaisercrafts Christmas Sentiments set.
  • Die cut some tiny stars in pale gold metallic card and also a strip to mount the sentiment on and assembled the card

  6. Two gorgeous cards Robyn! I love how you paper pieced your bauble into your shiny background in your first card and your sparkly star is gorgeous amongst the soft purple hue too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
