Die Cut:
- Use the holly wreath die and the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut out 2 wreaths. 1 out of Evening Evergreen and 1 out of Soft Succulent
- Cut out 4 or 5 cherry cobbler felt holly berries with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.
Stamping:
- Stamp “Merry Christmas” with Cherry Cobbler ink onto the Basic White strip. Cut the end on an angle.
Assembly:
- Lay the Evening Evergreen card base horizontally with the 2 scores to the left hand side.
- Adhere the largest piece of Basic White cardstock to the right side of the Evening Evergreen card front – the side with no scoring.
- Adhere the widest piece of patterned paper to the far right of the basic white, leaving a small, even border as shown.
- Layer the shortest Basic White rectangle onto the Cherry Cobbler. You will know you have the correct piece if it aligns with a small border evenly around the perimeter.
- Layer the patterned paper onto the other Basic White rectangle. Similarly, there should an even border around the perimeter.
- Adhere the Basic White and patterned paper layer onto the far left of the Evening Evergreen card front. The score line/fold should be next to this and it should have an even border.
- Using adhesive on only the left hand side of the Cherry Cobbler piece, adhere to the very front of the card when it is folded as shown.
- Layer both wreaths on top of each other and adhere to the left side of the front.
- Use Stampin’ dimensionals to adhere the Merry Christmas banner
- Add the felt holly berries with Stampin’ glue dots.
