CHRISTMAS LABELS
This card was fun to pull together with just a couple dies, embossing folder and a simple greeting!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 4-1/4 layer of Early Espresso was embossed with the Birch Embossing Folder.
- A small pool of White Craft Ink was mixed with a little water on a piece of plastic and then used a paint brush to splatter the Early Espresso background. It was added to the front.
- Four holly leaf clusters were cut with the Reindeer Fun holly die from Old Olive cardstock. Each was “painted” with the White Craft Ink and paint brush.
- The berries were cut with the Reindeer Fun die from Real Red cardstock and painted with White Craft Ink also.
- The holly and berries were added to the Early Espresso layer with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Real Red Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Christmas Labels Die.
- Some Gold Twisted Thread was wrapped in loops around my fingers, then added with a Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front and the greeting added on top with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
