Joy, Love, Blessings Card
Front: Place your card with the fold at the left. Cover the card with Christmas Cheer ivory/black/green/red tiles paper. Cut a 5”x2 1/2" Christmas Cheer green/black/ivory tiles paper and ink the edges black. Mat the long sides on Christmas Cheer red/ivory dots paper with 1/4" borders. Glue centered across the card. Ink the card edges.
Cover a tag with Christmas Cheer green dots paper and ink the edges black. Mat on Christmas Cheer ivory/black dots paper with 1/8” borders. Mat again on Christmas Cheer black scuff paper with 1/16” borders. Glue centered on the card, even with the bottom.
Cut a 5” square from Christmas Cheer red/ivory dots paper. Use the die cutting machine and the 3 7/8” scalloped circle cutting die to cut the scalloped circle shape from the center of the Christmas Cheer red/ivory dots square. Remove the scalloped circle and reserve the remaining square for the inside. Glue the scalloped circle centered on the tag, 1 1/2" from the bottom.
Pop out the 3 1/8” decorative circle card topper die-cut, and ink the surface with VersaMark™ ink. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and tap off the excess for a very thin layer. Heat to melt with the heat gun. Ink the surface of the die-cut with VersaMark™ again. Sprinkle with crystal micro glitter and tap off the excess until no more glitter will tap off. Hold the heat gun 5” away from the die-cut. Heat to set the micro glitter into the embossed surface. Tip—as you heat, watch for the glitter to look more sparkly as you go. This means it’s set. Be careful not to overdo it by using the heat too close to the die-cut or for too long a time.
Foam tape the embossed die-cut centered on the red scalloped circle. Place White Jewel Dazzles™ on the edges of the scalloped circle. Place Silver Charm Dazzles™ “Joy” and “Love” on black scuff paper. Trim evenly around the edges. Re-punch the hole in the end of each with the 1/16” round punch. Cut a thin strip of black scuff paper, fold in half and glue back-to-back. Thread it through the hole in the end of “JOY”. Glue near the top of the tag. Repeat the paper strip for “love&rdquo,; and glue it near the lower left corner of the tag. Add Tiny Words & Phrases Dazzles™ “Blessings” on the lower right side of the tag.
Make a loop from a 2” length of burgundy/ivory stitched grosgrain ribbon and Zot™ on the top of the tag. Add a flower at the base of the loop. Add 3 flowers near the lower left corner of the tag. Tie a burgundy/ivory bow and Zot™ near the flowers as shown.
Inside: Cover the card with Christmas Cheer green dots paper. Pop out a second larger circle from the card topper sheet and emboss it clear, then with micro glitter as you did for the front. Glue it centered on the green dots paper. Ink the edges of the reserved red/ivory dots paper square and glue it centered on the card, with the glittered die-cut centered inside it. Glue a 5” length of ribbon even with the bottom edge of the square. Back Silver Charms Dazzles™ “Peace” on black scuff paper as you did with the charms for the front.
