Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Old Olive Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Place the larger Whisper White Cardstock rectangle inside the Cable Knit 3D Dynamic Embossing Folder so the rows are running horizontally. Place the folder with the card stock inside directly on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
VERY IMPORTANT: You are using only ONE Cutting Pad. If you try to use two, the sandwich will be too thick and you could damage the Big Shot.
Adhere the dry embossed white layer to the front of the Old Olive card.
Mount the "tidings of comfort and joy" sentiment from the Christmas Pines Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the smaller white rectangle.
Pick out the smooth sided oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out an oval that is 1-7/8" wide. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the smooth oval framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the scalloped edge oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out a scalloped oval that is 2" wide. Place the Old Olive rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped oval framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment oval to the center of the scalloped Old Olive oval. Then, adhere them to the card front in the center using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Cut an 8" piece of Old Olive 1/4" Stitched-Edge Ribbon. Tie it in a bow. Trim the ends. Adhere to the bottom right side of the ovals using a Mini Glue Dot.
