Quick Silver Greetings

You Will Need (enough for 25 cards):

1 x Anita’s 25 Mini Square Cards & Envelopes - White (4x4") (ANT1515000) £2.99
1 x Dovecraft - Winter Wonderland 72 2x12" Border Strips (DCDP85) £1.99 (RRP 3.99)
25 x Papermania Wire Word - Greetings in Silver (PMA516) 35p (RRP 99p)
1 x Stickles Glitter Glue - Silver (SGG01911) £1.80
1 x Stix2 - Double-sided Tape 6mmx50m (EasyTear & FingerLift) (stix6/12) £1.70
1 x Piercing Tool or Large Needle (WRM70950)

What to do:

1) Choose a strip from the Winter Wonderland borders pack. Cut into 3 x 10cm pieces - each strip is enough for 3 cards!

2) Attach to the side or top of the card using the fingerlift double-sided tape. I prefer this as the adhesive tape is 6mm wide while the backing tape is 12mm, thus allowing you to easily fingerlift the backing from the tape!

3) Decorate with silver Stickles. I chose to draw a thin line around either the border strip or the whole card. However, you could also highlight some of the snowflakes or dot your own on the white card. I used stickles as it is a very fine quality glitter glue which is easy to use when fine features are required and it is quick drying!

4) Allow to dry. Then add the Wire Word. This is done using two split pins (included in the Wire Word). Simply remove the split pins mark with a pencil where the hole are required and pierce with a Piercing Tool or large needle and affix the word. Why use a piercing tool? Purely, if you are doing a lot of hole making it is easier to use than a needle!

5) Repeat 1-4 varying the position of the paper, wire word and glitter glue. You can have 25 cards in about 1 1/2 hours!!!
