12 Cards of Christmas Number 2 - Joy & Happiness Card

I fell in love with this card, it's so quick and easy to put together and is so elegant in it's simplicity. 

And the layout - well I've used it for Christmas cards, but it could be for any occasion, just use your imagination and switch up the DSP.

Step 1. Make the card base by scoring the Basic White cardstock at 14.5cm on the long side. Fold and burnish.

Step 2. Take the 14cm x 10cm piece of white cardstock and place it in the snowflake embossing folder. Run it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss.

Step 3. Cut a length of ribbon and wrap it around the embossed cardstock about a third of the way up. Using liquid adhesive, attach the mat to the card front.

Step 4. Cut a piece measuring 11.5cm x 7.5 cm from the middle of the Sentimental Christmas DSP. This will leave a thin border  - keep it. Adhere to the Pretty Peacock cardstock with dimensionals. Use liquid adhesive to adhere to the card front, centering over the embossed mat.

Step 5. Cut a length of ribbon and tie a bow. Attach to the side of the card front using mini glue dots.

Step 6. Ink up the sentiment stamp using the Versamark. Be generous and make sure the entire stamp is covered. Use an Embossing Buddy to wipe over the cardstock before stamping (this removes any static so the embossing powder simply sticks to the stamped image). Stamp the sentiment in Versamark.

Step 7. Sprinkle with the white embossing powder. Use the heat tool to set.

Step 8. Using a label punch, punch out the sentiment and stick to the card front.

Step 9. Stick the DSP frame on the inside of the card. Stamp your sentiment in the centre of the Basic White cardstock and adhere over the DSP frame.
