Tomorrow is my day to show you a free tutorial using a set from the Holiday Catalog…but today I’m giving you a HINT of which set I’ll be showing! You’ll need to stop by tomorrow to see the matching card set! When we were first married, we had a white flocked Christmas tree with red & white ornaments. My husband’s grandmother embroidered some red ornaments just like this for our tree, along with some red bows! I know I still have them in a box, although my tree is now done in gold and bronze colors. This card really reminds me of them!
Here are the details!
- The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 of Real Red cardstock, folded in half.
- I embossed the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.
- I added two 1/2 x 5 strips of Nordic Noel Designer Paper along each side…love that candy stripe!
- On Real Red cardstock, I embossed the floral medallion with White Embossing Powder, then cut it with the Heart Framelits and popped it up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I stamped Merry & Bright from Christmas Bliss with Red Red on Whisper White and cut it with one of the Project Life Framelits. I layered it on a Designer Label Punch of Silver Glimmer Paper! I love how those two compliment each other!
- Finally, I tied a Nordic Designer Button with White Bakers Twine and added it to the center of the medallion with Mini Glue Dots!

I knew this stamp set looked Pennsylvania Dutch and your card proves it. Love it! My Swedish friends will love it too. Great
