Assembly
instructions:
1. Cut and score
card base (5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”) using Real Red cardstock.
2. Cut card
front and inside mat (4” x 5 ¼”) with White cardstock.
3. Using the Exposed
brick 3D embossing folder with the Specialty plate emboss white card front. Glue
to front of card.
4. Die cut
trees using Garden Green and Granny Apple Green cardstock. I used Granny Apple
for the top layer on all the trees except the Dotted tree where the Granny Apple
is the base and Garden Green is top layer. For the small trees die cut a garden
green tree for background and trim off the bottom part to the size of the tree
front. I die cut four different tree fronts, three for the front and one for
the inside of the card. Glue three trees to card front letting a small bit of
the tree extend over the white mat.
5. Die cut eight
bows, two in Granny Apple Green and three of Real Red and Garden Green. Cut and
small strip of Garden Green and Real Red for the two bows that don’t have ribbon
going down the package. Add Wink of Stella to all the bows.
6. Cut with paper
trimmer eight presents, one from each side of the designer paper. Seven I cut 1”
x ¾” the eight 1” x 1 1/8”. Add bows.
7. Die Cut
Reindeer. Early Espresso for the antlers, Basic Beige for middle layer and Pecan
Pie for the top. Glue together.
8. Glue one
present to bottom of Reindeer. Using the Silicone mat add the additional packages.
I only added glue on the corners or side of packages I was adding another package
to. Allow to dry then add Stampin’ Dimensionals or I used Foam Adhesive strips
to back of reindeer and packages and add to card front trimming off any of the
tree that extends over the card front.
9. To get the
sentiment on the inside of the card I used a Garden Green Stampin’ Write marker
coloring the marker directly to the stamp being careful to only color the A
very merry and not the work Christmas. Use a stamp positioner so you can color
in the stamp twice and stamp in the exact spot as the first stamped image.
10. Die cut the
word Christmas out of Real Red cardstock and the shadow out of Garden Green.
Glue together and add to inside mat under the A Very Merry. Add remaining die
cut tree to the bottom right corner and adhere to inside of card, once again trimming
off any part of the tree that extends over the Red card base.
Your card is now complete and ready to send or give to a special someone in your life.
