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 using the "Jolly Holly" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.
Next I cut a 2-1/8" x 4-1/8" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Peaceful Garden" 12" x 12" package. I glued it to a piece of silver glittered paper measuring 2-1/4" x 4-1/4". Then that was glued to a piece of Secret Sea card stock that measured 2-3/4" x 4-7/8". Confession time here. My glitter paper isn't really paper. I got a roll of the glitter "paper" at the Dollar Tree but it turned out to be a table runner. It would have been better if it were paper because tape would have stuck to the back of the paper. I had to glue this runner to a piece of Basic White card stock. Then I could tape it down. But for today's card I preferred to use glue there.
Once the layers were taped together I set the piece in place on the front of the card with equal spacing on all sides and using Dimensionals. It's about 3/8" from the top, bottom and fold.
The words are from the "Peaceful Garden" bundle. I stamped them using Night of Navy ink and cut them out with a die from the "Traditional Labels" bundle. I set the piece in place using Dimensionals on the right and tape on the left.
I die cut a dove from the same bundle using Basic White card stock. Also in that bundle was the spring which I cut using a scrap piece of Secret Sea card stock. I taped the dove in place on the upper left of the panel and I added the tiniest dots of glue to each leaf in the sprig and I set in place so it looked like the dove was carrying it. And that was it, the card was done.
This was such a quick and easy card to make. I just love that DSP, it's SO pretty. I could have done something different with the embossed layer but that was all I could find. I wanted to use the "So Swirly" folder but it's buried somewhere on the counter. Tomorrow is clean up day. Time to put things away and organize a bit but not too much or I won't be able to find what I need! LOL
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
Very pretty cards you've been sharing! Sorry I've not been commenting. We've been away so much. I think we'll be home now until January, but I have SO much to get done! Happy Belated Thanksgiving.
