The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Cherry Cobbler card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. Two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock were cut, one was taped to the inside and the other is for the front.
On the front Basic White piece I taped a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of the DSP from the "Traditions of Christmas" package.
A 6" piece of ribbon was taped to the back. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it. My ribbon is some retired Cherry Cobbler. I need to use up what I have. Once the ribbon was attached the piece was taped to the front of the card.
Next came the arches. I cut one using some gold foil paper and the other using Basic White card stock.
The flowers are from the same package of DSP and were fussy cut. I did not buy the matching stamps and dies bundle, so I had to fussy cut them. It didn't take very long but I'd recommend starting with the bow and work your way around. Once they were cut I laid it on top of the Basic White arch piece to see where the words would go.
The words are from the "Traditional Labels" bundle and were stamped using Garden Green ink.
Once the words were stamped I taped the arches together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was cent in place on the front of the card about 3/4" from the bottom and 11/16" from each side.
I added the flowers using Dimensionals. The green embellishments were made using some retied "Polish Dots" that I had. I put clean nail polish over them and then sprinkled on some ultra fine green glitter. If you go this route I recommend you do it first so it has time to dry before you need them. The embellishments were set in place and the card was done.
This is such a pretty card and I'm glad I was able to make one. I love how it looks with the gold foil on that beautiful red DSP.
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
