Tis The Season Card





How are we doing we those Holiday Cards?  

Today's card is a simple but elegant Christmas Card idea.  

I started with an Evening Evergreen 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base scored at 4 1/4". 

I layered on a 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White panel.   

The Christmas Pine Cone Dies really create a beautiful background for your card.  

I used some of the Sale-a-bration Be Dazzling Specialty Paper as the base for my Pinecones and layered Early Espresso over top.

The Shimmer Vellum layered over the Evening Evergreen adds some shine.

I used liquid glue for all of the die cut pieces except the Shimmer Vellum. When working with vellum I prefer to use an adhesive sheet. 

I placed two nested Seasonal labels in Basic White and Evening Evergreen over top with dimensionals and embossed the sentiment in gold.  

I added Holiday Rhinestones and Gilded Gems for some bling.


On the inside I stamped in Evening Evergreen ink with the Evening Elegance stamp around the bottom edge and then stamped a sentiment from Holly Jolly Wishes.
