Merry Christmas Card

  Happy Saturday! 

For today's post, I've created this quick and easy Merry Christmas Card which features dies from the Planner Essentials Collection and Joset Designs. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my card at home. 

To start, you'll need to choose three pieces of Christmas Patterned Paper. From the first patterned paper, die cut a 4" Stitched Rounded Rectangle. From the second patterned paper, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Rounded Rectangle. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the third patterned paper, die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Rounded Rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the ornament image from the Planner Essentials 35 - Holiday Tab Pages out of a piece of Copper Foil.

From the Planner Essentials Winter Words stamp set, you'll need to the Merry Christmas words. Apply Emboss It Ink to the words and stamp onto a piece of cream cardstock. Sprinkle Forever Platinum Modern Gilding Powder over the stamped words. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Once the words have cooled, cut the two words into two word strips. Ink the edges of both strips using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 3 1/2" rectangle to the 3 3/4" rectangle. Foam square the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle.

Use foam squares to adhere the ornament die cut to the 3 1/2" rectangle.

Adhere the Merry Christmas words to the bottom middle of the 3 1/2" rectangle.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the card.

Here is the finished Merry Christmas Card.
