Happy Holidays


Today I have another Christmas card.  This is a 5x6 1/2 inch card.  

Cut a piece of white card stock slightly larger than the front of the card.  Score around the edges using a ScoreBoard.

Create a gold metallic frame using the Largest Dotted Scallop Oval die set and the Garden Notes Frame It-Stitched Oval die set (use the 3rd die down in this set).    Place the Stitched Oval inside the Dotted Scallop Oval and die cut.  Save the center for another project.  I love that by using the Frame It-Stitched Oval, you get the stitched design around the inside of the Dotted Scallop Oval.  It is a very finished look.  Attach to the front of the card.

Use the Words 5 - Winter Wishes die set and die cut the sentiment using gold metallic card stock.  Attach inside the frame as shown.

Use the Garden Notes Poinsettia die set and create one red Poinsettia. A combination of Copic Markers and PanPastels were used to color the poinsettia and green leaves.   Use the Flower Tool Kit to shape and the Kid Choice Glue to assemble. Attach the Poinsettia in the upper left corner over the edge of the gold frame.

Use the Garden Notes Whitepine Bough & Pine Cone die set for the pine boughs and pinecone. Die cut 2 pine boughs and enough pieces for one pine cone. Attach the Pine bough and Pine Cone in the lower right side of the oval, as shown above.  Save one small pine bough to tuck under the bottom of the poinsettia.

Use the Garden Notes Berry Spray and create one berry branch. Use red Nuvo Crystal Drops for the berries.  Allow to dry.   Cut the branch into small pieces and tuck under the poinsettia.

Use the CountryScape Critters 1 die set and die cut 1 squirrel.  Color and attach as shown above the pine cone.

Use the Reindeer die set and die cut the reindeer.  Color and attach with dimensional tape to the lower left corner.  My favorite way to color die cuts is to sponge on ink or PanPastels.

When I use the Festive Glow and Christmas Tree die sets, I save the small snowflakes for future use.  A few of these saved snowflakes were glued to the card, as shown.  

This dimensional card can be mailed in the Clear Acrylic Box that measures 6 3/8 x 6   
5/16.
