Project Recipe
CS=Card Stock
TOMBO= Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive
All dimensions are in inches
DSP=Designer Series Paper
Cutting, Die Cutting, Fussy Cutting, Embossing
Garden Green:
--Card Base: Cut 1 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score in middle at 4-1/4 and burnish using bone folder.
--Cut one Mini Envelope
----cut off the extra decorative top
----put it together using Tear & Tape.
Basic White:
--Card Inside: Cut 1@ 4 x 5-1/4
--Card Front: Cut 1 @ 4 x 5-1/4 then cut that in 1/2 lengthwise.
----put them in the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder of your choice (I used the snowflake one) as close to each other as you can and emboss them at the same time with the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
DSP:
--Front of the Mini Envelope: Cut 1 @ 2-1/4 x 3-1/16 .
--Fussy Cut 3 candy cane tops from the edge of the DSP (can always use these cut off pieces!!)
White Glimmer Paper: Punch 2 boughs:
TIP: If you only want to punch the boughs and not the flowery looking one, then cut a 1-1/2" strip and feed it into the punch so you only punch out the bough.
Green Ribbon:
--Cut enough to wrap around the Mini Envelope and tie a bow the size you wish
--Cut approximately 6-1/4" for the center Card Front
Putting it all together:
1: Mix up the 2 Basic White embossed pieces so they don't look too much the same and then flip them upside down so they are long sides together.
2: Put Stampin' Seal+ across the top centers of them and put one end of the 6-1/4" ribbon on the adhesive, gently flip over
3: Add same adhesive down the center where the two CS pieces are butted up against each other.
4: Lay down the ribbon over the adhesive and flip over again
5: Add same adhesive to the bottom back center and secure the end of the ribbon.
6: Using TOMBO adhesive, apply to the back of these pieces and secure to the front of the Basic Gray Card Base front.
7: Adhere DSP rectangle to the front of the mini envelope using adhesive of your choice
8: Adhere the candy cane tops to the inside front of the mini envelope using Mini Glue Dots so one side sticks out of the envelope and appears as though the canes are hooked.
9: Adhere the bough punches with a Mini Glue dot as shown in picture then....
10: Wrap Garden Green ribbon around the mini envelope and tie a bow. Secure bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
11: Adhere envelope to the Card Front using TOMBO
Stamping:
If you wish to stamp, use either Real Red or Garden Green ink and stamp the inside sentiment and outside of the card envelope.
