Merry Christmas Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6½"x5" Gold paper and glue to the card front. Cut 6 3/8"x4 7/8" Nature’s Touch green sprigs paper and place on scrap paper.
Load the pine cone stamp with Timber Brown ink, stamp it lightly onto scrap paper to remove some ink, then stamp it in the center of the green paper. Repeat this process, stamping the pine cone evenly spaced over the paper. Glue the paper centered on the front.
Cut 4¾"x3½" vellum. Stamp “merry Christmas” at the lower right with Timber Brown and let dry completely. Rub the printing pouch over the dry vellum surface, then stamp the pine cones on the vellum at the upper left as shown. Cover with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat the remainder to melt the powder.
Place adhesive on the vellum along the upper back, then attach it centered on the front. Cut 6 3/8"x1" Nature’s Touch gray tiles paper and mat the long edges on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Wrap a 7" ribbon across it, ¼" from the top, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the strip to the front, 3/8" from the top.
Make a 4-loop bow with ribbon and wrap the center with the prongs of a 5/8" wide green Embellie™. Glue to the first ribbon, 1½" from the left edge.
For the inside: Cut 6 3/8"x3½" Nature’s Touch green sprigs paper and repeat the stamping off process, this time using the holly sprig stamp. Mat the long edges on cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on Gold paper with ¼" borders. Glue centered across the inside.
