Hello, my crafting friends! This card is 5x5 inches. The base was created by die cutting 2 separate layers with the largest die from Marianne Creatables Anja's Squares. One of the layers was then scored about 1/2 inch from one edge and then adhered to the edge of the other layer. The card would then open by lifting up the top layer.
Next, I cut a panel in red using the second die from the same Marianne Creatables die set and adhered it to the base card. Then, using Spellbinders Adorning Squares, a white panel was cut which would contain the focal point.
The candles, from Memory Box Glowing Candles die, were cut three times: once in red, once in gold and a third time in green. These were then paper pieced to get the above look and popped on. The sentiment is from GKD's The Magic of Christmas stamp set and was stamped in Versamark and embossed with red EP.
Paper piecing the glowing candles was a lot of work but well worth the effort in the long run. Here is a video tutorial by Pam Sparks on how it was done: Glowing Candles. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
