The base of my card is a folded piece 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 Garden Green card stock and textured it using the "Dreamy Snowflakes" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.
I cut a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock for the Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer. The DSP is from the "A Stitched Season" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Basic White piece. Then I glued that to the upper part of the card about 1/4" from the edge of the Garden Green piece, having equal spacing on the top and two sides.
I cut a circle using the third die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Using a blending brush and Garden Green ink, I scrubbed some on the circle.
The truck is a sticker from the "Happiest Season" ephemera package. I removed the backing and covered the sticky part with baby powder. You can use corn starch too. I usually add the Dimensionals and then cover the back with the baby powder but I wasn't thinking but much to my surprise the Dimensionals stuck to it and I had no issues. Now I know I don't need to try to brush around the Dimensionals with the baby powder. I affixed the truck to the circle, tape was added to the back and it was set in place on the DSP, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it. I often rely on my eyes instead of measuring, I figure if it looks straight to me, then it's straight or straight enough!
Next I looked for some wording and I found these in the "Season of Celebration" ephemera package.
And for a final touch I added some peppermint candies from the "Real Red & White" adhesive-backed peppermints package and the card was done.
This was a fun and quick card to make. I have hardly used the images from the ephemera packages I bought so hopefully I can make some more cards in the near future using them.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
