The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4' piece of Old Olive card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White that was textured using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. My piece was a quarter sheet and I trimmed it after embossing because the piece can sometimes not remain the same size as cut before texturing. I glued the embossed piece to the Old Olive piece and then I taped that to the front of the card.
Next I fussy cut the mistletoe piece from the "Season of Green & Gold" 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). And I cut two bells from the same package. There are die cuts for greenery but I didn't purchase it, I just purchased the DSP. I glued the two bells together. I set the smaller one on top of the larger one to hide the bottom side. It was an edge piece and a little bit of the bell was missing. I didn't want to toss out that piece so I cut the bell and just covered the part that was missing.
The words are from the "Christmas Labels" bundle and were stamped using Old Olive ink. I cut the out with a matching die. I cut one of Old Olive card stock too. I felt the word piece needed a layer behind it. I just snipped the little spot on each corner. I taped the words to the Old Olive piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and I lightly set the piece on top of the card.
I added a little bit of glue to the leaves and slipped the mistletoe piece under the word piece. Before the glue set, I had added glue to the bells and slipped them under the mistletoe piece and the card was done. I had thought about adding some embellishment but I liked it just the way it was.
This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make.
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
