The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Real Red card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Snowy Scenes" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Real Red piece and then I taped that to the front of the card.
Next I cut a Real Red strip that measures 2-1/4" x 5". On top of it will be the three Basic White pieces. They measure 1-1/2" x 2". I used my Blending Brush and Pool Party ink and gave them a bit of color. The white was just too bright. I taped them to the Real Red strip and then I taped that to the front of the card.
I fussy cut the little snow globes from a sheet of DSP from the same package. I'm not big on fussy cutting but this was pretty simple and it was quick to do too. I added Dimensionals to the backs of them and set them in place on top of the rectangles.
The words are from the "Christmas Labels" bundle and were stamped using Real Red ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the matching die. I also cut a Real Red piece too. I cut the words from the Basic White piece and taped them to the Real Red piece. The word piece needed a colored layer and this was my second thought. My first one was to take my Real Red marker and go around the edges with the belly of the brush end but I didn't think it would be red enough so I thought I'd experiment with the layers and this is what I came up with. I do like it a lot! I think it made that die look a little bit more fancy! I set the word piece in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.
I like the way this card turned out and I thought it was fun using those little snow globes. I had also cut 3 round snow globes out from the piece of DSP that I had. I set them aside for a future card (hopefully). I must have been in the mood to fussy cut!
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
