Another Christmas Card

  Hello fellow stampers, crafters, and friends!  Today I'm going to share another card with you that I made for Christmas.  I have been making quite a few Christmas cards lately to prep for the upcoming sales that I am sure I will have. This one takes a bit of time ad several items but I think it is worth making!

Let's go ahead and get started.  By the way, if you don't usually watch videos but are confused, please see my video for better understanding.  This was a hard one for me to type up!

* 5.25" x 4" Basic White card stock for inside panel



How to:

* Fold your card base in half at 4.25".
* Die cut using Evening Evergreen, the large piece that is pinecone and boughs. Cut off a small piece of this, for just 3 pine cones and some boughs.  (See photo if needed.)
* Die cut 3 pine cones. you'll want both the detailed piece and the background piece for each pinecone.
* Die cut the shimmer vellum using a label die from the Seasonal Labels Die set.
* Adhere the larger DSP piece to its mat and the smaller DSP piece to its mat.  
* Adhere the smaller piece to the larger piece, set toward the bottom right.
* Wrap some Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave ribbon around this and tie a knot on the left side.
* Adhere this piece to the card base, toward the right side.  (See photo if needed.)
* Adhere the detailed pinecone pieces to their backs.  Then adhere the whole pinecones to the large pinecone and bough piece that you had cut off earlier.
* Adhere the shimmer die cut piece over the ribbon using dimensionals.  Only do this in the center so that you can't see the dimensionals when done!
* Adhere the pinecones to the shimmer vellum piece.
* Stamp your sentiment on the left hand side of the card base.
* Stamp the inside panel as you see fit- I did a pinecone and some bows.  Adhere this inside the card.

Your card is complete!
