Stampin' Up! First Frost

My card today is inspired by one of my team mates, Linda Richenberg. I haven't played at Cards in Envy in awhile so I'm entering this in their The Spirit of Christmas Challenge. I hope you'll visit their site as the Design Team has created some beautiful cards.

All measurements and list of products used are listed below and here is how I put it together.

1. Create card base using Tranquil Tide

2. Cut Joyous Noel DSP panel

3. Adhere two strips of Tranquil Tide to the left side of the Joyous Noel DSP panel.

4. Cut a piece of Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8” ribbon (Merlot side up) and wrap it around the DSP panel. Cut off extra length, secure with tape on back. Use the cut-off piece to tie a faux bow about 1” from the left side.

5. Adhere the DSP panel to the front of the card base.

6. Using the First Frost stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Merry Merlot on a piece of Whisper White.

7. Cut the sentiment out with a die from Frosted Bouquet Framelits.

8. Cut a mat of Tranquil Tide using the slightly larger die from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits.

9. Adhere the two pieces together and then stick them on the card front using Dimensionals.

10. Use the branch die cut to cut two from Champagne Foil. Adhere them with liquid glue, after cutting off ends and hiding the bottoms under the ribbon.

Front Fini!!

For the inside, stamp the sentiment in Merry Merlot and the branches in Tranquil Tide on a Whisper White panel. One branch at the bottom is second generation stamped.
