Curvy Tiered Christmas Card |
|
T he Curvy die adds so much fun to a card. I choose papers from the Classic Christmas paper pack because it offered me the same print in 3 different colors.
Card Base: Cut Cherry Cobble 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½. Note: the papers used in this card are Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand, & Shaded Spruce, you could use any of these colors for your card base.
Card Mat: Cut Whisper White paper 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp Merry Christmas in the lower left hand corner in ink to match your card base. I used Cherry Cobbler ink.
Card Front: Choose a print from the Classic Christmas paper pack and cut 1 of each color of the print 3 X 4. Cut a a Curvy edge at the bottom of each paper cut (across the 4” length).
Attach the Shaded Spruce print paper with Curvy edge just above your stamped sentiment to the card mat. Attach Sahara Sand print paper with Curvy edge 1” above the curvy edge of the Shaded Spruce print. Attach the Cherry Cobbler print with dimensionals, lining the straight edge with the top of the card mat.
Attach card front/card mat to card base.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
