Christmas Tags & More Bright & Happy Christmas Wishes Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features prints from the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper (DSP) and message from the Holly Jolly stamp set.

It's so easy to make cards with a DSP that has sheets printed with 6 tags per sheet.  Simply cut them apart and add your layers and embellishments to create cards, or add a little ribbon and a piece of light colored or white cardstock to the back and you have cute tags for your gifts.  

The lovely detail around the Soft Sea Foam layer is from a die in the Textured Notes dies.  The adhesive backed Real Red & White Peppermints are the perfect additions to this DSP!

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Jolly Holly stamp set
  • Textured Notes dies
  • Crumb Cake cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Soft Sea Foam cardstock
    • 4-1/4 x 2-3/4 frame die cut
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 2-3/8 x 3/4
  • Christmas Tags & More 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 5-1/4 x 4 plaid print
    • 3 x 2 tag 
    • 1-1/4 x 3/4 dots on Crumb Cake print
  • Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Real Red & White adhesive-backed Peppermints
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere plaid DSP panel to folded card front.

Ink message with Real Red, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Adhere at top of Soft Sea Foam die cut frame, inside edge feature, with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Trim one short edge of dots on Crumb Cake print to make a banner edge, apply adhesive to bottom back of tag, adhere banner piece.  Adhere assembled tag to die cut, tucking top edge under sentiment.


Adhere Soft Sea Foam assembled piece to card front.  NOTE: I placed the piece onto the plaid so it was framed evenly on the green stripes in the plaid.  Each card varies depending on how the plaid is printed.

Embellish ornaments and sentiment with all sizes of Peppermints.
