I used the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set to create my card today.
After watching Stamping Mom, I was inspired to create a Christmas Card with Beth's "joy fold".
Here's what you'll need to re-create this card:
Cherry Cobbler Base: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 5 1/2"; emboss the fold with the Evergreen Forest 3D EF
Brushed Metallic Cardstock Gold Mat: 4" x 5 1/4"; adhere to base
Shaded Spruce: 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Cherry Cobbler and Brushed Metallic Gold scraps for sentiment; stamp sentiment in Versa Mark ink, sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and heat set; punch out sentiment and mat with Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
Punch out shape with Pine Tree Punch on front flap; emboss with Tasteful Textile 3D EF
DSP Mat for behind punched out tree: 3" x 4" (I used retired Wrapped in Plaid DSP); adhere to back of front flap
Very Vanilla Mat for sentiment and image: 3" x 4"
Center Shaded Spruce on gold mat and adhere; add sentiment to front with Stampin' Dimensionals
Forever Greenery Trim Gold Twine: Make a double bow; adhere with glue dot
Decorate your envelope front and back!
I'm entering my card in the "Baby It's Gold Outside" Challenge at Jingle Belles and
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge 507 with optional twist of adding plaid; and her patterned paper challenge for September.
Over at Just Add Ink #523, Tina has an alphabet challenge...just add "A". Well here's my "A" - Alchemy - "the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir." Hope the DT doesn't think that's too much of a stretch! Last but not least, International Art & Soul: Ch#92 Tic-Tac-Toe. I went straight across the top.
Thank you for stopping by today and TGIF!
