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"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 3-7/8" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 2" x 3-7/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/2" from Old Olive Cardstock
Place the large Whisper White rectangle into the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the large rectangle of Old Olive Cardstock to the bottom of the dry embossed white layer so that the concentration of tiny dots is at the top of the white layer.
Use Paper Snips to cut a gold Foil Snowflake in half. Save one half for use on another project. Use a little bit of SNAIL Adhesive across the top of the Old Olive layer and adhere the other half to the Old Olive layer so that the flat edge of the snowflake is even with the top edge of the green layer.
As you are ready to stamp on each piece of cardstock using the Christmas Quilt stamps, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" sentiment from the Christmas Quilt Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white strip about 1/4" up from the bottom edge.
Use your fingers to carefully tear the top off the stamped white strip.
Use SNAIL Adhesive along the bottom and middle of the stamped and torn white strip to adhere it to the white and green/snowflake layers so that the bottom of the white strip covers the seam between the white and green/snowflake layers. Try not to get adhesive near the torn top edge.
Adhere these layers to the large Pear Pizzazz rectangle.
Cut a 5" piece of Gold 1/8" Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the layers so it covers the seam between the torn, stamped white strip and the green/snowflake layer. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the layer. Adhere the layer to the front of the Old Olive card.
Mount the triangle of downward pointing triangles image from the Christmas Quilt Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the strip of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.
Pick out the large open triangle framelit from the Quilt Builder Framelits. Place the stamped Pear Pizzazz strip on top of a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the triangle framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Keep out the large open triangle framelit.
Adhere the triangle cut out to the card front so it is about 1/2" in from the left side of the dry embossed white layer and tucked under the torn white layer with about 1-1/4" of the triangle showing.
Mount the dotted outline triangle image from the Christmas Quilt Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other side of the strip of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.
Pick out the small triangle with stitched edges framelit from the Quilt Builder Framelits. Also find the large open triangle framelit already used. Place the stamped Pear Pizzazz strip on top of a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the large open triangle framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place the small triangle with stitched edges framelit inside the large framelit so it is centered. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Keep out the large open triangle framelit.
Adhere the triangle cut out to the card front so it is about 1/2" in from the right side of the dry embossed white layer and tucked under the torn white layer with about 1-1/4" of the triangle showing.
Mount the triangle of upward pointing patterned triangles image from the Christmas Quilt Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small rectangle of Old Olive Cardstock.
Find the large open triangle framelit from the Quilt Builder Framelits. Place the stamped Old Olive rectangle on top of a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the triangle framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the triangle cut out to the center of the card front so it slightly overlaps the two other triangles and is tucked under the torn white layer with about 1-1/2" of the triangle showing.
Adhere a gold star Metallic Enamel Shape to the top of the center triangle.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Gold 1/8" Ribbon. Slide one end under the center of the ribbon on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
