This Chrismas Card fills me with joy! It is not only a beautiful card, I simply love the Sentiment on the stamp, The Heart of Christmas! I wish you could see it in person…..but then again – YOU CAN…..when you make it yourself! It truly is a beauty!
Starting with the Very Vanilla Cardstock for my cards base I added one of my all time favorites, Crumb Cake as a focal wow backdrop to my cards main body ! The size of this is 5 1/4 X 4! Next i chose a designer paper from the SUPER COOL Festival of Prints Designer Paper Pak and matted that to a coordiation color cardstock, I chose Cherry Cobbler! These dimensions are 4 3/4 3 1/2 and the printed paper is 4 1/2 X 3 1/4!
Here comes the fun – I just love the Bog Shot! It is truly amazing all of the things it can do. Using the Label Collection Framelits I cut out 2 different sizes ( one in the Very Vanilla for the sentiment in Cherry Cobler and the other in the Crumb Cake to layer behind!) Still more fun to come is using another "play tool" the Paper-Piercing Pack to add a bit of pizazz to the outer framelit! Before I adhere the 2 framelits together I snailed doen a piece of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon to add a bit of depth and then using my Stampin Candy, Dimensionals – I popped the Framelits ontop of the decorative paper!
The final touch, I punched out 3 small Christmas Trees using the Gumball Green paper that coordinates perfectly to my designer paper ( thank you Stampin' Up!!!) and once again popped them up! To me a card is never finished ( in my opinion) without a lining for the envelope! I chose a print that coordinated with the body of my card and the end result is perfect!
