Sentimental Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a multilayered Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. I taped one to the inside and one to the outside.

Next I cut the Basic Red layer. It measures 3" x 4". On top of that are strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package.  These strips measure (from left to right) 1" x 4", 7/8" x 4" and 1/2" x 4".  I taped them in place on the Basic Red layer. I like doing layers like this. Each one of these strips does not have it's own layer, it's on one sheet. It's quicker and easier to set in place on the front of the card. When I have to add layered strips individually I struggle getting them straight and even. This way I get layers but they are much easier to do.

The Basic White center layer was cut using the 3rd smallest die in the "Deckled Rectangle" set. Then I textured it using the "Falling Snow" embossing folder. 

The stocking is from the "Sentimental Christmas" DSP package and was fussy cut. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the textured deckled piece. Dimensionals were added to the back of the deckled piece and it was set in place in the center of the card. And that was it.

I was going to add some wording but I thought it would take away from the sweet stocking in the middle of the card. I also figured that the stocking and colors told you it was a Christmas card. I may stamp something inside but I usually leave it blank.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
