Sentimental Christmas, Heartfelt Hexagons, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on the internet. You can see the original card here.  Please read on to see how I put this card together.

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

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Lost Lagoon card stock and textured it using the "Snowflake Sky" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Next I cut a 3-3/8" x 4-1/4" piece of Pretty Peacock card stock for the Designer Series Paper (DSP) strips. Those strips are from the "Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package and were cut at 1" x 4" and 2" x 4".  That makes for a fun layout. I like it a lot more than several strips that are the same size. I just think it's because it's something different. Those strips were taped in place and then the piece was glued on top of the textured piece.

A 1" x 3-3/8" strip was cut for the horizontal piece. I also used glue on that piece because I wanted to be able to move it around a bit to get it as straight as I could. It's about 1-1/2" from the bottom edge of the card.

The words are from the "Heartfelt Hexagons" bundle and were stamped using Pretty Peacock ink. They were cut out using the matching punch.  The piece was set in place on the front of the card. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it. It's about 1" from the fold and 1" from the right side.

I colored a couple of rhinestones using my dark Pretty Peacock Blends pen to do that. I set them in place on each side of the word piece.

A knotted ribbon was tied from some ribbon I had in my stash. I used a little bit of glue to affix it to the word piece. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun, quick and easy card to make and I can see myself using this layout again in the near future.

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