Welcome back for week 5 of the Heart of Christmas cards. This week I again used the annual catalogue to inspire my card from page 121. As always, the step by step instructions to recreate my card are at the end of this blog post.
My spin on the above card
Close up of card front (where you can see all the texture the die cuts add)
Inside card
Step by step instructions to create you own card (inches are in bold)
If desired ink all edges of cardstock/DSP etc. using coordinating inkpads and sponge daubers
1. Cut emerald envy cardstock 20cm x 14.5cm (7 7/8" x 5 6/8") & score at 10cm (4") and set aside
2. Cut crumb cake cardstock 9.5cm x 14cm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2") and cut pear pizzazz 9cm x 13.5cm (3 1/2" x 5 5/8") and set aside
3. Cut real red cardstock 9cm x 13.5cm (3 1/2" x 5 5/8") and randomly stamp "Merry Christmas" from Better Together in real red ink
4. Stamp the "frame" image from Christmas Pines in crumb cake inkpad (onto whisper white cardstock) and fussy cut using paper snips
5. Stamp "Noel" from Christmas Pines in emerald envy inkpad (onto whisper white cardstock) and fussy cut using paper snips and adhere onto the "frame" image from step 4
6. Die cut images from pretty pines thinlets in crumb cake, old olive, pear pizzazz and real red (or retired red foil) cardstock
7. Die cut emerald envy cardstock using die from flourish thinlets (it is the one with circles on the end of branches)
8. Adhere the die cut images behind the noel image (which is popped up using stampin' dimensionals)
9. Adhere the real red cardstock onto the crumb cake cardstock and adhere the final piece onto the emerald envy card front
