The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Old Olive card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut and taped to the inside.
The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Traditions of Christmas" 12" x 12" package. I cut the strips at 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" and I taped them to the front of the card. I tape the outside pieces first and then fit the center one in.
The circles were cut next and they are from the "Spotlight on Nature" dies. I cut one of Basic White card stock and a Cherry Cobbler one. I taped the layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the upper part of the card about 3/4" from the top and sides. I just eyed it when I set it in place but the measurements read 3/4".
I fussy cut the flowers from the "Traditions of Christmas" package of DSP. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the circles.
The words are from the "Traditional Labels" bundle and were stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out using the die from the bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card about 1/2" from the bottom of the card at the lowest point of the piece and 3/16" from the top tip on the left and lower tip on the right.
I had some leftover polished dots that I used for the embellishments. I put clear nail polish over them and sprinkled on some gold glitter. If you are going to do this, I highly recommend you do it first so it has time to set up before you need to use them.
This was a fun card to make. I didn't mind cutting the flowers (I had to fussy cut them because I don't own the matching dies). If you have to cut yours, I do recommend you start at the left side of the bow and work your way around. Cutting the bow and stems at the very end is a bit difficult to hang onto.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
