A GORGEOUS red glimmer cardinal!

I have a GORGEOUS Cardinal to share with you today!

Check out this beautiful Toile Tidings Suite in the Holiday Catalog on pages 6-9!  This sweet has endless possibilities!  

This was another one of the many cards that everyone made at my Holiday Extravaganza class last month.

Check out the sparkle on this cardinal.  I used the Red Glimmer paper underneath a stamped Window Sheet to make this awesome look!

stamp set:  'Toile Christmas' & 'Tidings All Around'
card stock:

• Thick Very Vanilla- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
• Very Vanilla- 4 x 4"- for inside of card
• Garden Green- 4 x 4"; 4 1/4" strip to stamp wreath onto & cut out with die
• Real Red- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4"; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & cut out with die
• Red Glimmer- 3" strip- cut out with cardinal die & use Paper Snips to cut off the fee;
• Crushed Curry- 1/2" strip- stamp beak onto & fussy cut out with Paper Snips
• Window Sheet- 3" strip- stamp cardinal onto using Black Stazon & then cut out using Cardinal die

designer paper:  'Toile Tidings DSP- 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"
ink;  Black Stazon, Garden Greenother:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Christmas Cardinal Dies, All Around Wreath Die, Red Rhinestones, Real Red 1" Ruched Ribbon- approx. 16", Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Paper Snips, Tear & Tape

NOTES:  

• I adhered the Red Glimmer to the back side of the Cardinal Window Sheet.  I also used a glue dot & adhered it under the beak.  
• BE SURE YOU USE STAZON ink, as Memento will not dry on Window Sheets- no matter how long you let it sit!

I made this fold to be like it was a book opening!  This is a view of it while standing up.  I used Tear & Tape underneath the ribbon to hold the end of the card secure & stuck together.
