The base of the 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 "Jolly Holly" embossing folder. I glued it to the card base.
Next I cut the layers. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Traditions of Christmas" 12" x 12" package and it was cut at 2-1/8" x 4-1/4". I taped it to a 2-1/4" x 4-3/8" piece of gold foil card stock. Then that was taped to a 2-3/4" x 4-7/8" piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock. I glued these layers to the front of the card about 5/16" from the top, bottom and fold.
The words are from the "Traditional Labels" bundle and were stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut it out using a die from the same bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back.
Before putting the word piece down I cut a piece of gold ribbon that I had in my stash and taped that down first. The word piece was set in place over the ribbon.
I added three gold rhinestones to the front and the card was done.
I also make a card using these measurements out of copier paper so I have it for future reference. I have a pretty large stack of copier paper card layouts. I like seeing them as they were made then to see them printed on a piece of paper and try to visualize how it looks. I also add the date(s) I used the layout so I can go back and look at it for an even better idea of how to make the card. It saves me a lot of time designing layouts!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
