Christmas Peace and Joy

 




Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another Christmas card using the Vintage Christmas Background and Christmas Joy Bundle (all from Stamp Simply)!



I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to  the Double D Challenge “Christmas Ornaments” (I was inspired by the gold ornaments in the jar), Simon Says Monday “Use Dies in December” Challenge, The Tic-Tac-Toe #262 “Featured Designer Betty” Challenge (diagonal top right down  Metallic- Embossing (I have wet and dry)- Die Cuts) and the Word Art Wednesday #677-#678 “Anything Goes” Challenge.


 If you have not had a chance to stop by the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet , I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool.

Using Versamark ink, stamp the Vintage Christmas Background onto the prepared panel, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Using the Vintage Ovals and Twigs die, die cut the coordinating oval from the background. 



De-static the oval area with an embossing powder tool, ink the bow image from the Christmas Joy Bundle with Versamark, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Repeat the above steps for the small ornament and sentiment (from Vintage Christmas Background).

Trim the embossed background panel, mount onto a piece of white cardstock and trim again, close to the edge.

De-static another piece of white cardstock and repeat the above steps with the larger ornament image.  Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with the coordinating ornament die.

Mount the background panel onto a piece of copper metallic cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Die cut the twigs from copper metallic cardstock.

Adhere a few twigs behind the oval sentiment die cut before re-positioning it onto the card front.



Add the additional copper twigs directly to the card front.

Adhere the large ornament with dimensional foam and finish off the card with a few pearls.
