Week 4 of Christmas Cards



At Week #4 I have a easy and fast but pretty card, I think anyway, for you. It is a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 Colonial White CS card with a Left Fold.

Supplies:
D1440 Everlasting Life (sentiment stamp)
C1328 Festive Frills
Evensong Christmas Paper from CTMH (Retired) I'm trying to use up some papers I have left over.
Inks- Blush, Olive, Chocolate and Cranberry
Bitty Sparkles
Foam tape/dots

Pieces:
A- 3 1/2 x 6 Square B&T
B- 1/2 x 3 1/2 Blush B&T
C- 3 x 3 Blush CS Cut in half to make Triangle piece.
D- 1/2 x 6 Cranberry CS

Steps:
1. Edge all papers with Cranberry Ink
2. Stamp wreath on Colonial White CS with Festive Frills Stamp set. Cut it out and edge with Olive ink.
3. Stamp bird from Festive Frills with Blush ink. Cut it out and edge with Blush ink. Use chocolate marker to make lines on the bird for definition
4. Attach piece A flush with bottom edge and sides.
5. Attach piece B flush with A.
6. Attach piece C flush with piece A top edge.
7. Add foam tape to the wreath and attach centering over pieces B&C
8. Add Bird to right edge of the wreath.
9. Attach piece D to inside righ edge of the card.(not shown)
10. Add Bittty sparkles to random squares on piece A. Add 1 to the top of the card on each side. Also add some randomly on the wreath.
11. Stamp sentiment to the inside from Everlasting Life stamp set. I used the following sentiment from that set--"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,that who so ever believeth in him,should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. John 3:16

I hope you enjoyed this card. Stay tuned for more to come.
