I made this beautiful card with my Stampin' Up! Bells & Boughs stamp set. It's one of my favorite Christmas sets because it has the poinsettias and pine branches and holly and bells stamps that just scream MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I love how this card turned out. The colors look great together and I love the 3D effect. Here's how to make it:
First cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of burgundy card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of green for the middle layer, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the front layer.
Then cut out the image background with a Spellbinders Beaded Ovals die, the image with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals die and the sentiment with a Spellbinders Labels Four die. Next using a Stamp a ma jig stamp the pines and poinsettias on the classic oval in Stazon Jet Black ink, color it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, sponge the edges with Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler ink and attach it to the beaded oval. Then to create the 3D effect stamp the pines and poinsettias again on another piece of white card stock in Jet Black ink, color it with the alcohol markers, cut out just the portion with the flowers and attach it to the oval over the first image. Next attach the oval to the front layer, stamp the sentiment and sponge the edges with Cherry Cobbler ink, attach it to the front layer with mini pop dots, attach the front layer to the middle layer, the middle layer to the base and enjoy!
