Candy cane stepper.....

I love these candy canes! I've used them tons of times over the years for cards, hangings etc. They are a Christmas classic..who doesn't love 'em?!
I cut the candy canes from red & white glittercard (they are cut in 2 parts- solid white and red stripe) then adhered them together with PVA glue, which in my opinion is the ONLY adhesive that will stick glitter to glitter. Some people swear by silicone but I've never had any success with it. I criss-crossed the canes and glued them together with PVA again. I added a bow to the cross-over point. The canes were then mounted onto an embossed scalloped circle. The two side panels hold swirly peppermint sweeties on smaller scalloped circles. 'Merry Christmas' was cut from red glittercard and adhered to the bottom of the card with foam pads.
Carts used:
Candy Canes- Joys Of The Season
Scalloped/plain circles-Winter Woodland
Peppermint sweeties & 'Merry Christmas'-Simply Charmed
Thanks for visiting!
