Glittered Holiday Slimline by Jean Okimoto

Are you almost ready for Christmas? It's time to celebrate the season with a collage of holiday icons and lots of glitter. Hi, Jean Okimoto here - hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Cut a total of 5 large and small Melted Candles from the white Frosted Glitter Pad. Color the flames with a yellow-orange marker. Cut the candles again from a coral 6x6 in the Berry Red Collection. Attach the coral candles to the white candles - slightly offset so they'll stand out from the background. Trim the large candles to 2-⅝" and 2-⅜" from the top of the flame to the bottom of the candle. Snip a tiny bit from the bottom corners so it doesn't look like you shortened them.

Cut the melting wax pieces - from the candle set - from the same coral 6x6. Spread Open Studio Sunlit Gold Glitter Glue over the diecuts, set them aside to dry. Sunlit Gold adds a slightly deeper, glossy, glittery layer of highlights.

Cut the medium Geodesic Oval from a dark pink sheet in the Berry Red Collection. Attach the candles and the melting wax diecuts.

Cut Holly Bundle from a medium-green 6x6 in the Lush Green Collection. Spread Open Studio Sour Apple Sparkle Glitter Glue over the leaves. Cut the berries from a pink sheet in the Delicate Pastels Glitter Pad.

Cut the Coral and Green Madras Plaid 6x6 vertically using the 1-¾" wide Slim Basic Rectangles Layers die. The plaid will be shorter than the die, but it's easier to diecut a straight strip. Trim the top edge where it was attached to the paper pack.

Cut 2 pieces of the Poppystamps Grosgrain Ribbon from a light coral 6x6 in the Berry Red Collection. Form the bow on one end by pleating a scored section and folding it back on itself. Tape it so it won't unfold.

Attach the diecuts to a White Woodgrain slimline card (3-½" x 8-½").

The Berry Red and Lush Green 6x6 Collections have many colors to coordinate with the Coral and Green Madras Plaid sheets - create your favorite color combos!

Thanks for visiting - keep warm and have a great weekend!
