Fall Floral Stained Glass Card made with the Sizzix Skinny Mini Elements Thinlet Die by Eileen Hull.

I was lying in bed the other night when I got the idea for this card.

(That’s when I get some of my best ideas.)

It was perfect for the Eileen Hull Card Bonanza Month over on her blog.

The Fall Floral Stained-Glass Card is a fairly simple card to make.

The one thing that made this card easy was using my Xyron Creative Station*

on the cardstock before die-cutting.

Directions:

• Cut a piece of gold cardstock slightly larger than the Skinny Mini Elements Die* to use as the base of the card.
• Choose a dark gray cardstock for the outline and three pieces of fall-colored cardstock for the inside pieces.
• Place the cardstock into the Xyron Creative Station* and crank the handle to run the paper through the machine. The Xyron Creative Station* adds a complete layer of adhesive to the cardstock making each little piece a sticker. That made assembling the card simple or “simple-ish.”
• Place the die on the cardstock and die-cut the gray and the fall-colored paper using a Sizzix Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*.
• Trim the gray paper to the size of the die.  Remove and discard all the tiny inside pieces using a craft pick*.  Remove the protective liner from the back of the cardstock and center it onto the gold cardstock layer.
• Use a craft pick* to place the inside flower pieces from the colored cardstock.

Materials Used:

• Sizzix Skinny Mini Elements Thinlet Die by Eileen Hull*
• Sizzix Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*
• Xyron Creative Station*
• Sizzix Craft Pick*
• Hero Arts Enamel Dots*
• Cardstock
• Cream Ribbon

• Finish creating your flower pattern and add several cardstock layers to a cream card.
• Add a sheer cream bow.

There’s so much more that you could add to the card, like a greeting or a small tag.

But I decided to keep it simple. (or as I mentioned before…”simple-ish”.)

I thought I was finished with this card.

But then again, sometimes things just evolve.  

A stained-glass card needed rhinestones.

I added Clear Enamel Dots from Hero Arts* to the center of each flower.
