Words of Cheer Christmas Card and Tutorial

Hello everyone and HAPPY Friday!  Golly, it's been a crazy week at my house!  We've had a bear in our yard twice!  The last time it was at 2:00am and he was looking right in our front door (from our yard, not our deck)!  Our horses were snorting a crazy sound and pacing.  My husband yelled at him and he ran away.  The night before it was at 11:00pm....I'm often in my workshop at that time!  Oh how I would hate to walk out heading to my house and run into a bear!  I clap and shout as I'm walking in!  Pretty sure the neighbors think I'm nuts!

Today's card is beautiful!  I hope you'll give it a try!

Instructions:

 

1.    Score and fold card base at 5 ½” on the long side.

2.    Emboss the two strips of Petal Pink cardstock with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. Then, adhere them to the card front placing the smaller strip at the top and the bigger strip at the bottom leaving a smooth center for your designer paper.

3.    Cut a hole in the center of the Blackberry Beauty DSP using the Layering Circle Dies. Attach it to your card front in between the two embossed pieces.

4.    Die cut two branches with Cinnamon Cider, two large leaves with Rich Razzelberry, and two small leaves with the Gold Metallic Paper.

5.    Arrange your branches and leaves on the left side of the circle opening as you like. I used Mini Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach everything.

6.    Stamp the sentiment in the center of the Rich Razzelberry strip using Vera Mark ink. Then, sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder, tap off excess, and heat emboss. When it’s cool snip the ends of the cardstock at an angle like shown.

7.    Attach the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Take a 12” piece of ribbon and cut it the whole length right down the center so you have two 12” strips. Hold them together and tie a bow. Attach the bow to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

9.    Add 3 Wonderful Gems to your card to finish it off.
