'Tis the Season

Hi everyone, sharing another set of Christmas cards made using 2 sheets of patterned paper from the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper pack.


The two sheets are the same pattern, I have just used the reverse side for some of the pieces on the cards.  Using the cutting guide below you will get 20 cards from the two sheets of Designer Series Paper.


The first cut I made was a vertical cut at 15.2cm, you will now have 2 pieces 15.2cm x 30.5cm.  I then did a vertical at 11.8cm on the two pieces.  This left two small strips 30.5cm long.  I cut these into six 5.1cm pieces (one wil1 be 5cm).

Cut the 11.8cm x 30.5cm pieces into 6 pieces 5.1cm x 11.8cm (again one will be 5cm).  Take 4 of these 5.1 x 11.8cm pieces and cut them into two pieces 5.1cm x 3.1cm and two pieces 5.1cm x 3cm.


The card bases are Thick Basic White, with a Garden Green mat cut at 8cm x 12.3cm.  I cut Garden Green Scalloped strips 12.3cm long.  I used the die from the Penned Flowers Dies to cut these strips.

Adhered two of the small strips of Designer Series Paper to the right side of the Garden Green mat.  There will be a little gap in the middle that is covered with the scalloped circle. Then adhered the Scalloped edged Garden Green strip to the other piece of the Designer Series Paper and then adhered this in place.

The circle decoration was cut using the Layering Circles Dies.  Cut one scalloped circle with Real Red, one scalloped circle with Garden Green and one plain edged with Basic White.  Adhered the Basic White circle to the Garden Green scalloped circle and then adhered these to the Real Red scalloped circle, offsetting to the left side.  I liked the finished look of the circle being offset.  Adhere the circle element to the card front using wet glue or tape.

The stamp sets used are Christmas to Remember and Christmas Season.  Stamp the Holly leaves using Garden Green ink, stamping off once.  Then stamp the image for the middle of the Holly Leaves using Garden Green ink.  The Holly berries were stamped with Real Red ink.  These were die cut using the Seasonal Label Dies.   

Arrange the Holly leaves and berries in place on the circle element.  I did cut one of the berries off before adhering it on top of the other three berries.

Stamp the sentiment using Real Red ink and fussy cut.  Using Dimensionals adhere in place on the circle element. To finish the card a small bow made from the ribbon in the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack was added along with some Red Rhinestones.

Hope you enjoyed this project.
