White Christmas Part 5 – Sam’s Centre Step Card!

White Christmas, Holiday Home, Amanda Bates, The Craft Spa 005

Sorry for the Stars interruption to the series….. but almost finished my White Christmas series now….

This card I love…. both visually and technically…. but I can’t take much of the credit for it….. this was a swap card made by the lovely and uber-talented Sam Wilson from our last Team Training. It caused rather a stir… there were lots of audible gasps as it was handed over! Here is Sam’s card below….a complete stunner!

So why did I change such a beautiful card…. mainly because I needed it to take less time in the class…as you can see from this series I had lots of cards for my ladies to make! White Christmas, Holiday Home, Amanda Bates, The Craft Spa 009

So I had to remove some of the steps…. for example – using the All is Calm papers instead of embossing … and then I made a sample with the foil dots and the room lit up!! Literally… you should see these glisten when they hit the light….. I couldn’t really catch that in a photo…. but I am sure you get the idea….

Hope you are not upset with me Sam! Thank you for sharing this card with me….. It really is a very clever centre step card format…. that remains standing up nice & proud… one that will be repeated another day….

Oh.........My......Goodness! These cards are absolutely stunning! Wow! Is there, perhaps, a tutorial or dimensions for these beauties? I'd love to try my hand at making one for my Mom for Christmas. Thank you sooo much Ü Started following you blog posts...obviously I've been severely missing out! Merry Christmas ♥

Thanks for your really lovely words Tracy! But I am SO sorry as my Christmas house clear up means the instructions aren't to hand!! They will re-surface in the new year! And all the cards have been posted to friends and family... Sorry! But have a great Christmas....
