Green & Gold Christmas Ornaments Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut 5"x6½" gold paper and glue the lower half to the card front. Cut 4¾"x6¼" Gypsy Jewels green paper and glue it centered on the front. Cut 4¾"x 7/8" Gypsy Jewels blue striped paper and mat the long edges on gold paper with 1/16" borders. Glue to the front, ¼" from the top.
Die cut one of each ornament from gold paper. Place an ornament face down onto the VersaMark™ ink pad and press to completely cover it with ink. Sprinkle pearl champagne embossing powder over the inked ornament, leaving some empty areas. Return the excess powder to the container. Sprinkle aged gold embossing powder over the ornament, filling in the empty areas. Heat to melt the powders.
Place the embossed ornament on a protected surface with the gold halo glitter mix container nearby. Reheat the ornament until the powders start to bubble again. Very quickly cover the ornament with glitter, pressing it in place. Lift the ornament and return the excess glitter to the container. Reheat the ornament once more so the embossing powders ‘grab’ onto the glitter and hold it in place.
Repeat the embossing process with the remaining two ornaments. Glue all three in place on the front. Cut ribbons and glue one extending from each ornament up to the card top and to the back of the constructed front. Glue the upper half of the front to the card base.
Stamp “Season’s Greetings” on the card front in the lower right corner. Cover with black embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat to melt. Die cut three holly clusters from gold paper, and trim the berries off each. Glue one to each ornament top. Cut three 3" ribbons and tie a knot in each, then glue one to each ornament top. Place crystals in the ornament centers.
For the inside: Cut 4¼"x5 5/8" Gypsy Jewels green paper and mat on gold paper with 1/16" borders. Glue centered on the inside. Stamp and emboss “May your days…” and “Your holiday be…” on gold paper. Trim each to 2 1/8"x1¾" and mat on green cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue as shown.
