Emboss one piece of the 5 3/8”x4 1/8” Real Red Cardstock with the Tin Tile folder, then snail onto the card base.
Flag one end of each of the 2” Designer Paper strips with your paper snips.
Snail the 4 ¼” x 2 ¼” piece of plaid Designer Paper onto the upper right side of the card front, then snail the two flagged strips on top of this – refer to picture for placement.
Using the pine bough corner border stamp from the ‘Many Blessings’ stamp set and Shaded Spruce ink, stamp the design in each corner of the Granny Apple Green 3” square. If desired, color the stars with the Daffodil Delight marker and the berries with the Real Red marker.
Using Black Stazon ink, stamp the candy cane crock, the small star, and small ornament onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, and stamp “Merry Christmas” with Shaded Spruce ink.
Color the stamped images as desired. I used Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce.
Cut out the Candy Canes using the 2nd smallest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, and the greeting from the 2nd smallest oval. Use dimensionals to attach these pieces to the card front.
Cut out the small star and the small ornament with your paper snips and then snail to the front of the greeting. Refer to picture for placement.
If desired, add a red rhinestone to each berry on the Granny Apple green square for extra bling.
INSIDE:
Snail the remaining piece of Real Red cardstock to the inside.
Snail the coordinating strip of Designer Paper to the left side of the Whisper White piece about ¼” in from the side.
Stamp sentiment in Shaded Spruce. I used a sentiment from the ‘Christmas Pines’ stamp set.
Snail the stamped piece to the inside of the card.
ENVELOPE:
I used the pine bough border stamp with Shaded Spruce ink to decorate the outside of the envelope, coloring the star with Daffodil Delight and the berry with Real Red markers. This is a simple thing to do to give your card an extra special touch!
I hope you enjoy making this fun card. The traditional Christmas colors of red and green really make this card special!
