As you are ready to stamp using the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the candy cane image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it at a slight angle in the upper right corner of the vertical 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it in the bottom right corner at the same angle. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it in the middle between the two previously stamped candy canes at the same angle. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the candy cane image on Block A using the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it twice at a slightly different angle between the previously stamped green candy canes. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away..
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Garden Green rectangle.
Fold the 2" x 3-3/4" Garden Green strip on the score line so the small flap is tucked under the large flap.
Put strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the inside of the small flap of the Garden Green rectangle. Remove the protective backings. Adhere the small flap to the back of the matted white/green rectangle so the large flap will cover the 2nd and 3rd candy canes from the top when folded over.
Fold the Real Red card on the score line so the smaller flap is on the left and folds over the back of the card.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive and/or Stampin' Seal to adhere the matted white/green rectangle with green flap attached to the inside of the back of the card in the center.
Mount the tiny, solid star image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it 5 times on the Gingham Cottage Designer Paper piece as shown. Make sure to re-ink the stamp each time and stamp inside the gingham squares.
Adhere the stamped designer paper rectangle to the center of the 2-1/2" x 5-1/4" Garden Green rectangle. Then, adhere it to the front, left flap on the card.
Mount the patterned letters "jolly" image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2" x 3-3/4" white rectangle.
Mount the outlined letters "jolly" image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it outlines the previously stamped patterned letters..
Pick out the rectangle die that cuts out a 1-1/4" x 3-1/4" stitched rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Put it on top of the stamped jolly rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the word is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Put Stampin' Seal on the back of the word rectangle cut out on the RIGHT side ONLY. Make sure there is NO adhesive on the left 1".
Adhere the "jolly" rectangle cut out to the flap of the Garden Green strip so the left side of the "jolly" rectangle hangs over the edge about 5/8" and it is centered top to bottom.
Note: Make sure NO adhesive hangs over the left edge or the card will be sealed shut.
Mount the outlined Santa hat image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it on the small, remaining white piece.
Mount the solid Santa hat top image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the outlined hat image.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the Santa hat by hand.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the cut out Santa hat to the top of the "Y" at the end of the word "jolly" at a slight angle as shown.
Cut a 3" piece of the Garden Green ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card in the angle between the "jolly" rectangle cut out and the Garden Green flap on the left side. Make sure NO adhesive goes over the edge of the Garden Green flap or the card will be sealed shut.
