The base of my card is a folded half sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it with the "Falling Snow" (retired) embossing folder. I miss not having a snowflake folder for winter and Christmas cards. What I currently have for backgrounds wouldn't look good on this card. So if you have something current, please use it. I went with the falling snow for mine. Using strong tape I attached it to the front of my card.
Next I took a scrap piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Traditional Christmas" 12" x 12" package. It measures 3" x 3". I cut a 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" piece of Real Red card stock for the layer. I taped the two pieces together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card about 5/8"from the top edge and about 9/16" from each side.
The "Merry and Bright" sticker was gifted to me so I am not aware of where it came from. I had gotten a dozen or so of various holiday sayings. I tried to look for them in the current mini catalog but I didn't see them in there. If you know where they are located in any flyers or catalogs, please let me know so I can not only post it here but order some more. They are SO fun to work with. I removed the sticker backing on mine and added a Dimensional to the bottom part of the piece. I lined up the bottom of the word "Merry" to the Real Red edge and I set it in place centering it as much as I could by eyeing it.
The little bow was cut from another sheet in the "Traditions of Christmas" package. I had fussy cut it. It was pretty easy to cut. I recommend cutting the tips first and then work up from there. I added tape to the upper part of the bow and I cut pieces of a Dimensional and added that to the bottom of the bow. It needed some stability. And the card was done.
This was a fun, quick and easy card to make, plus it used a piece of scrap!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
