1. Cut 8-1/2 x 11
sheet of Lucky Limeade card stock in half, fold in half and crease with bone
folder. Stamp Deck the Halls greeting in
lower right corner with Cherry Cobbler Ink.
2. Take 2 x 4-1/2
piece of cherry card stock and run through Big Shot with embossing folder. Sand tops of poinsettias with sanding block
until desired color has come through.
Wipe with dust buddy to remove excess card stock bits. Stick down to card stock base with glue
stick. (You may need to trim piece
slightly—you used a 4-1/2 inch piece of card stock since the embossing folder
will “shrink” the cardstock slightly. You
want the finished piece to be 4-1/4”, the same as your card base.
3. Stamp ornaments in
cherry ink on 4 x 2 piece of pink cardstock.
Color ornament tops, criss cross pattern of left ornament, and center of
largest ornament with silver marker.
Using pink marker, color in top and bottom of large ornament and
highlighted portion of other ornaments.
Color one large rhinestone with sharpie and place in center of largest
ornament. Wrap 3” piece of ribbon around
top of pink cardstock, securing ends on back with SNAIL. Run a scrap of lime cardstock through Big
Shot with leaves sizzlet. Attach to back
of pink cardstock with SNAIL. Place 4
dimensionals on back of pink cardstock and adhere to card front. Fill in the pink portions of round ornament
with Dazzling Details.
