Welcome back for week 25 of the Heart of Christmas cards. This week's card is featuring the naturally eclectic designer series paper mixed with the merry little labels stamp set. I love how a non Christmas designer series paper has worked to create this Christmas card. This card can also be modified to a birthday card with a change of sentiment.
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 lemon lime twist cardstock 20cm x 14.5cm (7 7/8" x 5 6/8") & score at 10cm (4") and set aside
2. Cut "splots" designer series paper (DSP) 9.5cm x 14cm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2")
3. Cut whisper white cardstock 9cm x 13.5cm (3 1/2" x 5 5/8")
3. Cut strips of emerald envy cardstock 0.6cm (1/4")
4. Using emerald envy ink, stamp "special delivery" stamp in the centre of the whisper white cardstock
5. Using paper snips, poke a hole in the centre of the DSP and use the stamped "special delivery" image as a guide to tear DSP (so that the sentiment can be seen when mounted behind the DSP)
6. Adhere the sentiment behind the DSP
7. Adhere emerald envy strips to mimic the appearance of ribbon (around a present) and adhere torn back DSP in place (using snail)
8. Adhere the DSP onto the lemon lime twist card front
