·       Miscellaneous: Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); Stampin’ Seal Adhesive (152813); Mini Glue Dots (103683); Multipurpose Glue (110755); Misty Moonlight Checkered Trim (167480); Glossy Garden Dots (168577)

 

Measurements:

 

·       Misty Moonlight: 4 ¼” x 11” scored @ 5 ½”, cut 1 ¼” off bottom, 4” x 4”

·       Basic White: 4” x 5 ¼”

·       Ribbon: 5 inches, 3 inches

 

Instructions:

 

1.     Measure, score, and cut your paper.

2.     Using the 4 ¼” x 1 ¼” Misty Moonlight you cut off the bottom of the card base, die cut the 2 trees.

3.     Stamp with Misty Moonlight the greeting “sending Holly Jolly wishes” to the top center of the Basic White and attach to the inside of the card.

4.     Use the 4” x 4” Misty Moonlight to emboss with the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder. Use a Blending Brush and the Misty Moonlight ink to lightly go over the embossed words to make them pop a little bit.

5.     Use Versamark, the Basic White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, and Sponge Dauber to add the white to the top of the trees. I double embossed the very top of the tree to add another layer, but this step is optional.

6.     Assemble: Wrap the 5-inch ribbon to the bottom of the embossed 4” x 4” by putting Seal on the ends of both sides of the back. Use Multipurpose Glue to attach the 4” x 4” paper to the front of the card. Attach the 3-inch ribbon to the ribbon and make a knot bow. Trim to the size you like and place a Mini Glue Dot behind the knot to secure it in place. Liquid glue the larger tree to the bottom left of the Basic White. Use half a Dimensional to attach the smaller tree. *If you place it just right the tree tip will overlap the front and secure it closed.

7.     Embellish with 3 Glossy Garden Dots.



Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

3.     Using a blending brush and the Peaceful Pine ink, color the entire wreath that still has the negative space.  Keeping the die cut together allows you to color without bending the edges.

8.     Attach the Red Dots DSP to one 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White piece and then to the front of the card.

9.     Apply Multipurpose Glue around the outer edge of the Basic White oval and attach the inked wreath.  Then place dots of Multipurpose Glue to the back of the lighter wreath and place on top of the inked one but just a bit offset.

10. Attach the oval/wreaths using Dimensionals.

11. Attach two pinecones using Mini Dimensionals, the bow using a Glue Dot and silver and red sequins.

12. Attach the 5 ¼” x ½” Peaceful Pine piece to the back of the 5 ¼” x ¾” DSP piece and attach to inside Basic White piece.  Attach the other two pinecones.
