Christmas Greenery, Traditions of Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and easy 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 with a retired snowflake background. I just think this background is SO pretty and I will hang onto this embossing folder until it no longer embosses! I used strong tape to set it in place. Normally I'd glue it down but I was too lazy to go across the room and open a cupboard door and get a bottle of glue! (now that's lazy!! LOL).  The strong tape holds it well.

My Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Traditions of Christmas" 12" x 12" package.  I cut the pieces at 2-5/8" x 1-1/2" and I taped them (with strong tape) to gold foil layers that measure 2-7/8" x 1-3/4".  I taped them in place on the front of the card about 5/8" from the fold, right edge and the top and bottom.  

The top gold foil piece was cut using the third smallest die from the "Textured Notes" die set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the center of the card.  I just eyed it but it's about 1-1/8" from the bottom (same for the top) and 1-1/4" from the sides.

The floral piece is from the "Traditions of Christmas" and was cut using the matching die in the "Christmas Greenery" bundle.  Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. I eyed it but allowed equal amounts to hang over the top and bottom of the gold piece. I mostly just tried to get the bow straight and ran with it.

And that was it, the card was done. I was going to add some wording but I thought I would just leave it as it was. The DSP just lets the top layers pop.

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