It is an exciting day. I am sharing a preview of the new Christmas release. My favorite time of the year. There is so many fun dies in this release. My first holiday card features the Florentina Wreath die.
Florentina Wreath:
Die cut the Florentina Wreath die from heavy cream card stock and from a mid-tone green from Lush Green paper pack. On the green die cut ink the center with Distress Oxide Ink Rustic Wilderness and then Vintage Photo along the outside and inside of the wreath. For the cream wreath add dots of Sunlit Gold Fairy Sugar glue to the round berries. Let dry.
Smooth Pine Cones:
Die cut the smallest Smooth Pine Cones 3 times from a dark brown from Earth Earth paper pack. Glue the pieces together starting from the smallest die and stacking the next die on top. Create 2 pine cones that are longer and 1 shorter pine cone. Shape the pine cones using your fingers. Apply Distress Grit paste with a pallet knife. Let dry.
Curled Holly Branch:
Die cut the Curled Holly Branch 3 times from the same mid-tone green from Lush Green paper pack. Trim 2 of the die cut branches to remove the last leave and 2 berries. Save the 3rd die cut to add in leaves and berries as needed.
Sentiment:
Die cut the bottom Joy Posh Script die from the rustic orange/red paper from the Glitzy Glitter paper pack. Add double sided tape behind the gold paper from the Polished Foil paper pack. Keep the bottom release paper on. Die cut the top die. Adhere the top die cut to the bottom die cut.
Assembly:
Trim the light brown and cream plaid paper from the Woodsy Plaid paper pack to 4" x" 51/4". Adhere to a A2 size front panel from the same dark brown from Earth Earth paper pack used in make the pine cones. Adhere to a top fold A2 size light brown card. Glue the green wreath in the center of the card by adding dots of glue to just the center of the wreath. Glue the cream wreath on top of the green wreath. Adhere the trimmed Curled Holly branch to the bottom center of the wreath. Adhere the short pine cone in the bottom center than add the 2 long pine cones on either side. Adhere the sentiment on the top of the wreath and pine cones. Add in extra leaves around the sentiment to fill in any empty spaces. Adhere matching rustic orange/red embellishments from the Treasure Chet Fairy Gemstones. Stamp the inside with May the Magic of the Christmas season fill your heart with Joy from the Yuletide Moments stamp set.
