The base of my 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 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Shaded Spruce card stock for the layer.
Next I cut a 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"piece of Basic White for the next layer. On top of tat is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package. I used a little bit of tape where the opening was going to be cut so the pieces would stick together.
I used the rounded corner rectangle dies from the "Nested Essentials" die set. I used second smallest one on the two layers together. Then I removed the DSP and using the second die in that set I lined it up over the opening to get it as equal around as I could and I cut it. Once cut I taped the DSP to the Basic White piece, lining up the openings.
Then I took a piece of DSP from the "Sentimental Christmas" package and cut it so I had the image of a deer for my opening. Glue was added around the backside of the opening and the piece was set in place and then it was taped to the Shaded Spruce piece. Then that was taped to the card base.
The words were stamped next on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Real Red ink. They are from the "Greetings of the Season" set. Then they were cut using the second stitched circle die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the right side of the card.
Because it has such a vintage look to it I thought I'd color some rhinestones using my dark Real Red Blends Pen. I set them over the berries that were on the branches. It just reminded me of the vintage cards from the 60's that had the glitter outlines on them. It just needed that nostalgic touch. And the card was done.
This was such a fun card to make and I REALLY like how it turned out.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
