Greetings of the Season, Season of Green & Gold, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you using the "Season of Green & Gold" Designer Series Paper (DSP). Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Very Vanilla card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 2" x 3-3/4" piece of DSP from the "Season of Green & Gold" 12" x 12" package. A 2-1/4" x 4" piece of Garden Green card stock was cut for the layer. There was a strip of the DSP left, it measured 1-3/4" x 2-3/4", I cut a Garden Green layer for it measuring 2" x 3".  

Then I textured a piece of Very Vanilla card stock using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder and then trimmed it to 4" x 3".  

The words are from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle and were stamped using Pecan Pie ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla. I cut them out using the second smallest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. The Garden Green layer behind it was cut using the second smallest die from the "Deckled Circles" set. I taped the two layers together.

The greenery and bells are from the "Season of Green & Gold" package of DSP.  I did not buy the bundle, just the DSP so I had to fussy cut the pieces. There was an extra bow from a partial bell so I cut it, added Dimensionals behind it and set it aside.

I was now ready to assemble my card. I glued down the textured Very Vanilla piece. The layered strip was next, it's about 1" from the bottom and 3/4" from the right edge, I glued it in place. Then the large layered DSP piece was taped in place on the left side of the card.

The greenery was added next. Be careful putting tape on it, the leaves could rip off. I chose to glue mine. I just put a blob (technical stamping lingo) on the front of the card and pressed the pieces in place. I did tape the pine needle piece on top of the glued pieces.

I took that bow I had fussy cut, removed the backing from the Dimensionals and set it in place on top pf the bow on the bells. I was surprised it matched since the bell it was cut from was not the same bell as the pair. Then I taped the bells in place.

The words were added next, they were set in place with Dimensionals and the card was done.

Even with the fussy cutting, this card was fun to make. I love how rich it looks.

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