Boughs of Holly Christmas card

The papers in Boughs of Holly paper pack are beautiful. I added even more interest by embossing the print paper.

Card Base: Cut Real Red 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.

Card Mat: Cut Mossy Meadow paper 4 X 5 ¼.

Card Front: Cut Poinsettia print paper from Boughs of Holly paper pack 3 ⅞ X 5 ⅛. Attach Poinsettia paper to Mossy Meadow card mat. Emboss these pieces with the Gingham embossing folder. Attach the embossed piece to the card base.

With the Holly Berry Dies cut the label with attached leaves from Distressed Gold paper, cut two of the open leaves and backing piece for leaves on the label from Mossy Meadow. Attach the backing to the open leaves. Attach the two leaves to the back of the label (see card for placement). Attach the leaves and label to the lower right edge of the card front.

Die cut the smaller label in Holly Berry Dies from Basic White card stock. Stamp sentiment from Leaves of Holly stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink. Attach stamped label to Distressed Gold label with dimensionals.

That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Basic White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment from Leaves of Holly stamps set with Mossy Meadow ink. I attached a ½” strip of the Poinsettia paper to the top of the card insert before attaching this piece inside your card.
