Your Christmas countdown continues – it’s exactly three months or 13 weeks today until Christmas Day!
This week’s Christmas card is a fancy fold card – I’m not 100% sure of the name, however think it could be called a peek a boo flap card? Here’s a short video to show you how it works.
As you probably know, I love monochromatic cards. I’ve taken the colour scheme for my card from the stunning gold and Very Vanilla Shining Brightly 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper I’ve used on the front of the card and also inside it too.
The gorgeous candle image and both sentiments are all from the Radiant Light stampset.
The gold heat embossed candle image and the gold glimmer circle layer behind it are both die cut using the new Decked Circle Dies.
The Silver & Gold 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Adhesive-backed Glimmer Paper is self adhesive and it is a brand new online only release.
Here’s what the card looks like partially opened…

The Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets on the front tag sentiment pick up the stars in the DSP – the perfect embellishment!
It’s so hard to photograph the glorious sparkly gold elements in my card so I also took a photograph outside in my garden.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Caroline Manwaring. I can’t wait to see what Caroline has made this week.

Such a beautifully elegant card Cathy. Love the name you have given it lol. Those candles look so good embossed in the gold and they team beautifully with the paper you have used.
Oh Catherine, your card is simply stunning! The gold embossing is so beautiful. I quickly grabbed my Mini Catalogue to take a better look at this stamp set as I hadn’t paid much attention to it at all. Your card is so elegant and so beautiful and that belly band of twine and tag is simply gorgeous.
Love, love your choice of gold and Very Vanilla for your very elegant Christmas card. The Deckled Circles and the Glimmer paper work perfectly for the peekaboo card front.
I love vanilla and gold and this is the ultimate in glamour! The deckled circles add a nice feature, as does the Specialty DSP. Love everything that sparkles.
An elegant Very Vanilla and gold card Cathy. The embossed candles are perfect inside the deckled circles, with the gold glimmer. I love the inner special touches like the panel of DSP and the gold embossed sentiment. All so beautiful. xxx
Such a classic, elegant, colour (tone?) combo for a Christmas card, Cath. I really like how the Deckled Circle aperture on the front has an embossed frame around it. Lovely fold, with delightful details incorporated.
