Side Step Card Christmas

Side Step Card-Christmas Scene 
Side Step Card
Side step cards are ideal to create a scenic card. I wanted to make a quick Christmas card for my daughter's friend and so used stickers and lots of glitter to glamorize an otherwise simple card.
Well rather than glamorizing it with glitter I think I made a bit of a mess![Well my daughter forgave me!--as she is only 5years!!]
Really admire my blogger pals who can really jazz up a card with glitter.[If you want to see how glitter should really be used check out my blogger friend Tejals blog-- she is the Queen of Glitter!!]
I used locally available glitter paper to make the Paper folding Christmas tree.
Paperfolding Christmas tree
The tiny golden balls on the Christmas tree are "bindhis" [Indian women adorn their foreheads with these!]. The violet "Pie lane"flowers are a gift from blogger pal Snehal . I love making these Paper folded Christmas trees and even my 5 year old had a go at making them!
Here is the link to the Paper folding Christmas tree tutorial.
Here are links to some varieties of Side step cards
Wishing all my blogger pals a Merry Christmas.

    Especially like the use of the shiny paper folded Christmas Tree. I've been experimenting with glitter and am working on a Tree made from a paperback book (one that you do not care to read again) in which you fold the pages. Have the pages all folded. Will photo before & after I spray paint with the green glitter spray paint and decorate and post soon.

    Thank You Dee yes its for my daughters friend and hopefully it should appeal to a 5 year old!
    Tejal my dear glitter queen yes now you know why I asked you earlier to post those tutorials on your blog! And the images are stickers not printouts-- a wonderful local buy!
    Atiya so sweet of you to link to me and what a sweet creation you have made!
    Megha you are too kind-- nothing clever in this post-- in fact I even debated whether to post this card!
    Mellisa--great minds think alike-- my magazine paper tree is "half done" too-- waiting to see yours!

    Dr. Sonia, I love the card, especially the folded tree. I think the stickers are fine. I would trust your little one. She has good taste and a wonderful mom who is sharing life with her. You are an inspiration Sonia! Thank you for sharing a little bit of it with all of us. NancyD
