Christmas season

 

Good evening crafty friends, so today I found a beautiful card on Pinterest inspired by Pat Fairless. I loved the color combo she used on this card. I didn’t have all of the elements she used so I found something that worked. I also used pear pizzazz instead of soft seafoam for my green. Here we go…

Fold card base in half and adhere the pool party piece to the front of your card. On one of the basic white pieces you are going to stamp the rounded leaf bunch in pool party ink three times. Two near the top sides and one at the bottom. Then with the pear pizzazz ink, stamp the pointed leafs three times next to the other leaves. Now on the piece of basic white scrap and the basic gray and Smokey slate ink, stamp out two pinecones. Cut those out using the mini cut & emboss machine. The silver leaves are cut from the framed florets dies, or any vine type leaf die you might have and cut two of those. From the “Christmas to remember” stamp set take the “Tis the season” sentiment and stamp it with versa mark ink on the scrap piece of pool party. With a piece of paper on your table pour the embossing powder on the versa mark sentiment piece then tap off excess, bent the scrap paper and return excess powder back into the jar. Heat up the heat tool a little before you start to melt your embossing powder on your sentiment strip. Next take the smallest tag die from “seasonal label” dies and cut out your sentiment. Adhere the silver pieces in two opposite, upper and lower corners. Using dimenionals place the two pine cones in the middle of the basic white piece. Adhere the sentiment piece with dimenionals near the right bottom of card front rear pine cones. Using the dots stamp and Smokey slate ink, stamp off and then stamp the dots in the empty areas of the card front. Adhere this piece to the pool party on the front of the card. On the inside of the card using the other basic white card-stock, stamp three pine needle bunches in two of the opposite corners and stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment in Smokey slate in the middle. Adhere this piece to the inside of your card. DONE!

I hope you enjoyed making this card as much as I did. It was an easy but elegant card to make. I will be making more with different sentiments. If you need any of the products used today you can purchase them at…
