A Simple Christmas Card

 Hello fellow stampers, crafters, and friends!  Today I'm going to share a card with you that I made for a team swap.  The theme was "clean and simple Christmas".  So quick and easy and can be done with so many papers, colors, stamps, etc.! 

Let's go ahead and get started.

* Christmas To Remember stamp set
* Christmas Season stamp set
* Seasonal Labels Dies
* Espresso card stock
* Crumb Cake card stock
* Very Vanilla card stock
* Real Red card stock
* Painted Christmas DSP
* Gold Holly Leaves
* Early Espresso ink pad
* Real Red ink pad
* Garden Green ink pad
* Red Rhinestones
* Bone Folder
* Block 
* Block D
* Adhesive(s) of choice

Dimensions: 

* 8.5" x 5.5" Early Espresso card stock
* 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Crumb Cake card stock
* 4 1/8" x 2.5" Painted Christmas DSP
* 4 1/8" x 1.5" Real Red card stock
* 3 7/16" x 3/8" Blackberry Bliss card stock
* Scrap of Very Vanilla card stock
* 5.25" x 4" Very Vanilla card stock (inside panel)

How to:

* Fold your card base in half at 4.25".
* Die cut your sentiment piece from the scrap of Very Vanilla using a label from the Seasonal Labels Dies.  (See picture for which one I used.)
* Stamp the inside panel and sentiment piece using the berries and twig stamps from the Christmas Season stamp set and Real Red and Garden Green ink pads.  I stamped full strength inside and second generation on the sentiment piece.  (See pictures for placement.) 
* Stamp your sentiment on the sentiment piece using Early Espresso ink.

* Using your bone folder, break the fibers in the Real Red card stock piece.  G over it many times, in all directions, until the piece can be easily pull apart into two pieces.  (This will leave a suede like texture on the inside part. See video for more on how to do this.)
* Adhere the DSP to the Crumb Cake card stock. 
* Adhere the Real Red piece, suede-like side up, covering up the DSP line, nearly at the center of the entire piece.
* Adhere this whole piece to the card base.
* Adhere the sentiment piece to the center of the Real Red piece, using stampin dimensionals.
* Adhere the Gold Holly leaves (as seen in picture).
* Adhere the Red Rhinestones; one on each side of the sentiment and three in a row going down on the top right side of the Crumb Cake piece.
* Adhere the inside panel.

Your card is complete!
