Here we go – first Christmas card of 2026 and I started with my favourite purchase from 2025 – the Alex Syberia Christmas bouquet dies!
I just love these dies and these were all die cut from scraps and coloured with my alcohol markers and then adhered together into the ‘designed’ cluster.
I added glitter glue to the centres of the flowers and then set it aside. I actually made this element either in late November or early December when crafting with my daughter and just using up scraps!
When it came to assembling the card – I did stick the camera on – so you can check out the short video over on my YouTube channel.
I added the cluster to the embossed and inked panel and then added a mat of the black. I then used a black die cut foiled sentiment to bring that black in again.
I then added wink of Stella to the darker red berries to finish the front of the card which is the 5×7 size.
Next I added the panel inside the card using pink, black and white.
I added a few more of the die cut elements and the second foiled sentiment to tie it in – I then added some of the yellow glitter glue to the smallest die cuts and the wink of Stella to the berries – so inside the card is just as lovely as the outside!
Love this card and think it’s the perfect way to start off another year of #festivefriday
Will you be joining in on making cards throughout the year?
Wonder how many I will have made by Christmas 2026?
Happy crafting!
