Green & Gold Christmas
I was inspired by card template eighteen in the September to December Mini Catalogue for today’s creation. I attached a piece of Season of Green & Gold 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Garden Green card. I cut Garden Green card with one of the now retired Deckled Circle Dies and attached it to the Designer Series Paper. I cut another circle using the same dies from Very Vanilla card and attached it to the centre of the Garden Green circle. I stamped the solid tree from the Merriest Trees stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Old Olive ink.
However, I did stamp the image onto scrap paper first. I stamped the greeting from the Merriest Trees stamp set over the top of the tree using Old Olive ink. I used the co-ordinating Merriest Trees Die to cut out the image before attaching it to the Very Vanilla circle. I stamped one of the present images from the Merriest Trees stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Pecan Pie ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating Merriest Trees Die. I stamped another present image onto Very Vanilla card using Garden green ink and the last one using Old Olive ink. These images were also cut out the using the co-ordinating dies. I also stamped one bow from the Merriest Trees stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Pecan Pie ink and one using Garden Green ink.
The bows are cut out I cut out using the co-ordinating Merriest Trees Dies. I attached the Garden Green bow to the centre of the Pecan Pie present before attaching it to the card front. I attached the Garden Green present using dimensionals. The last present had the Pecan Pie bow attached before it too is attached to the card front using dimensionals. Lastly I used the die from the Merriest Trees Dies to cut a star from Gold Foil card which is attached to the top of the tree. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I also stamped one of the greetings from the Merriest Trees stamp set using Garden Green ink. I just love how easy it is to create a card using the templates as a guide. What about you, do you use the templates to help with your creations?
Bye for now,
