Traditions of Christmas, Peaceful Greens, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Peaceful Greens" embossing folder.  The center of that folder is indented in the shape shown by the gold foiled paper. I don't have the die yet so I traced the shape and fussy cut it. I can't wait to get the die, I'm not good at fussy cutting something that doesn't leave any wiggle room for errors. I taped that piece in place.

Next I cut a strip of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Traditions of Christmas" 12" x 12" package. It measures 1-1/8" x 4". Behind it is a 1-1/4" x 4-1/8" piece of Flirty Flamingo and behind that is a 1-3/8" x 4-1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock. I taped those three pieces together and set it aside.

Then I cut the second largest square from the "Stylish Shapes" set using Basic White card stock. I set it aside.

The flowers in the center are from the same "Traditions of Christmas" DSP. I fussy cut them out. I even fussy cut 3 of the berries (silly me, I'm going to check to see if the tiny circle handheld punch I have will cut them out for me).  

To get the pieces on the front evenly, I used some removable double-sided tape on the left side of the circle and I affixed it to the DSP layered strip. I centered it by counting the dots on the square. Once it was centered I put a tiny pencil dot where the tip of the square is on the left. Then I glued the strip in place. I removed the square. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the square and it was set in place.

Dimensionals were also added to the back of the flowers and they were set in place on the square. I used tiny dots of glue to set those little berries in place on the lower part of the square and the card was done.

Lots of fussy cutting here but I think it was worth it. This was a fun card to make and the embossed piece will be more fun once I get the dies that go with it. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
