Here’s another Ultimate Christmas Card Class spotlight, and this one has a little extra wow factor.

This design is a fun fold, which makes it feel special before you even get to the details. I love how the layered center panel gives the card so much dimension, and then the metallic finishes take it even further.

This card brings together specialty Designer Series Paper, metallic papers, and foiled accents for a festive look that feels rich and elegant without being overly complicated to assemble.

It’s one of the 10 different designs in the class, and you’ll make 2 of each for a total of 20 cards.

Registration is open now!

A little peek inside my Cards & Company Zoom class!
This pretty Lily of the Valley project was one of the cards we made together, and I love how those tiny flowers come together to create such a sweet focal point.
Cards & Company is all about making beautiful cards together from home. I send the prepared project kits, then we meet on Zoom to create, chat and enjoy some crafty time together.
Here's a quick look at how this one came together!

A little sparkle can make such a big difference on a handmade card.
This quick clip from my weekly live shows how snowflakes and gems add just the right finishing touch. I love how small embellishments can take a card from pretty to extra special without making the project complicated.
You can watch the full video tutorial on Facebook at Stampin' with Brenda or on my YouTube channel to see the whole card come together.
