Stenciled Ornaments Holiday Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut 5"x6½" green cardstock and place on the craft sheet. Use the blending tool to pounce Avocado and Cactus inks around the edges, covering ¼" inward. When dry, glue to the card front. Cut 4½"x6" Red Velvet green tapestry paper and mat on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue centered on the front.
Cut 5"x1¼" Red Velvet red/black striped paper and mat the long edges on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Cut a 5"x 3/8" strip of green cardstock, place on the craft sheet, and pounce and blend Cactus and Avocado inks over it to cover completely. When dry, glue to the striped paper, ¼" from the top. Glue ribbon across the green strip and glue the ends to the back. Glue the strip to the front, ½" from the top.
Die cut one each of the large and medium ornaments from either cardstock. Use the temporary glue to adhere the ornaments to a sheet of Silky white cardstock. Squirt quarter-sized puddles of Avocado and Cactus inks onto the craft sheet. Pick up the inks with the blending tool and pounce onto the ornaments, blending the colors and inking 1/8" beyond the outer edges. When dry, remove the die-cut ornaments and set aside.
Cut out each stenciled ornament, leaving a 1/16" green edge along the outside. Glue the largest ornaments to the front as shown. Use the template to trace and cut a marquee label from white cardstock. Use the blending tool to pounce Avocado ink onto the “Season’s Greetings” stamp, and stamp it onto the label. Wash your stamp immediately.
Mat the label on black cardstock with 1/16" borders, and foam tape it to the lower right. Cut two 3" ribbons and tie a knot in each. Glue one to the top of each ornament, then place the flower and jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
For the inside: Cut 3 7/8"x5" Red Velvet green houndstooth paper and mat on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Cut 4"x 5/8" Red Velvet red/black striped paper and mat the long edges on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue to the houndstooth paper, 3/8" from the top. Glue ribbon across the striped paper near the lower edge, gluing the ends to the back. Glue the paper centered on the inside.
Die cut two small cardstock ornaments and use as stencils on white cardstock as described in step 3, pouncing Cactus and Citronella inks over them. Cut out the ornaments as before and glue as shown. Cut two 3" ribbons, knot each, and glue one to each ornament hanger.
Trace and cut a Persian label from white cardstock. Stamp “Spread the Cheer” on it with Avocado ink, and mat on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Foam tape the label and place the Dazzles™ as shown.
