The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Snowy Scenes" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card.
For the triangle I took a quarter sheet of copier paper and folded it in half. On the short edge I folded it in half but only gave that edge a pinch I didn't need a full fold since I am using it as a template. I cut a piece of Basic White card stock that measured 4-1/4" x 2-3/4". After finding center on the top shorter edge I took the piece to my paper cutter and cut from that mark to the bottom corner and I repeated that for the other side.
Using removable tape (if you don't have removable just use a very little bit of regular double sided tape and set the piece on top of a quarter sheet of Real Red card stock. I lined up the bottom edge of the Basic White piece to the Real Red piece so I would only have two sides to cut. I took the piece to my paper cutter and cut the two sides. I repeated this with the Garden Green card stock. Now you can use all the tape you want to hold the Garden Green and Real Red pieces together. I removed the Basic White piece and stamped the "Merry Christmas" from the "Greetings of the Season" using Real Red ink. Then I taped that piece on top of the Real Red piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.
The tree is from the "Joyful Images Ephemera" pack and was set in place on the triangle using Dimensionals.
I added some snowflakes from the "White Loose Snowflakes" container gluing them in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make but I'm not really thrilled with it. When I finished it my words were "swing and a miss". Oh well, they all can't be winners.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
