Today I’ve combined some new and old Stampin’ Up! products to bring you peace-filled Christmas wishes! Here’s my card:
The sentiment and the lower pine boughs are from retired Peaceful Boughs Bundle, but can easily be substituted with current products. Here’s what I used:
- Thick Basic White Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″
- Garden Green Cardstock layer, with the right side textured with Wintry 3D Embossing Folder
- Painted Christmas DSP, 5-1/8″x 1-1/2″
- Real Red Cardstock, 5-1/8″x 1/8″ strip, and oval frame from Framed Florets Dies
- Basic White oval for Framed Florets Dies
- Garden Green stamp pad
- Pear Pizzazz Cardtock for pine boughs from Peaceful Boughs and Christmas Banner Dies
- Gold sequins
Tips For Success:
- Adhere the outer red frame to the inner white oval with Dimensionals on the back. This also lifts it up a bit so the pine boughs can be tucked under.
- I found it easier to decide on the bough placement and glue them down first before adhering the frame. I was running into trouble working them around the Dimensionals that were already glued down.
- A fun discovery ~ I found the de-bossed side of the green panel to show off the texture a little bit more than the embossed side, so I turned it over!
If you’re a fan of the traditional red and green for Christmas, then this card will appeal to you! The three prominent colors are Real Red, Garden Green, and Pear Pizzazz.
