Rolling Along

Cased from a card that was shown at Convention, this was so fun to do!

I used 3/4″ wide strips of Snow Festival Designer Series paper (cut at various lengths) and rolled them around a bamboo skewer.  Then I sprayed the entire front with Shimmer (alcohol and shimmer frost ink)spray.  It sparkles! And since I was watching the election results – and it was a long night – I continued rolling –

Here’s a few hints – I used glue to adhere them – but I’d recommend a glue gun unless you’re very patient.   Draw your Christmas tree triangle on your grid paper or a piece of copy paper first.  That will help you determine how long to cut each strip.  Find any and everything sparkly in your stash to decorate your tree. 

Hugs, Fran

  1. This is so cute. Probably not as simple as you made it sound, but I may have to give it a try. Thanks.

  2. This is really cool looking! I wouldn’t want to mass produce but for a few special cards they look fun to recreate. I can’t wait to try and I WILL use the glue gun!! Thanks for sharing.

  3. This is fantastic! I was trying to think of something to make for a very special cardmaking friend, and this is perfect. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the idea and for the tips.
