Sweetest time christmas card

Hello again everyone can you believe it's tuesday already and it's time for another Tuesday make. This week I've chosen the 'Sweetest time' bundle as I think it's really great for creating cards with lovely borders on them, so without anymore chit chat lets make a card............

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 6" x 8 1/4" scored on the longside at 4 1/8" for cardbase

1pc - 15/16" x 3 1/4" for the sentiment

Scrap piece for stamping and die cutting 3 x berries

Real red cardstock

1pc - 6" x 4 1/8" die cut both longsides for front of card

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 3/4" for the inside of card

Scrap piece to die cut 2 x candy canes and 2 x circle sweets to add depth

Shaded spruce cardstock

Scrap pieces to die cut 6 x small leaves and 3 x large leaves

Pear pizzazz cardstock

Scrap piece to die cut 3 x ferns

1pc - 1" x 3 1/2" for the sentiment layer

Real red sheer ribbon

A length long enough to tie 3 x bows for front of card

Wonderful gems

2 x red/gold and 3 x clear/gold for front of card

Real red classic stamp pad

To stamp the berries

Garden green classic stamp pad

To stamp the sentiment

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish the whisper white card base piece.

2. Cut both of the real red pieces of cardstock and glue the inside piece to the card.

3. Die cut both of the long sides of the other real red piece as in the pictures below.

4. Glue this piece flat to the front of the card using wet glue.

5. Die cut the extra candy canes and circle sweets, give them a slight curve using a bone folder and then glue them, not completely flat, onto the card front, as in the pictures below. (they go on either side opposite each other).

6. Die cut all of the leaves and ferns, stamp and die cut the berries and then using wet glue adhere them onto the card.

7. Tie 3 x bows and using mini glue dots adhere to the card (I've glued mine onto the candy canes down the side of the card), if you prefer tie 3 knots instead of bows.

8. Cut the pieces of card for the sentiment, stamp onto the white piece,  give this piece a slight curl and then just placing wet glue onto the ends attach it to the green piece, now glue this flat to the front of the card.

9. Adhere your gems onto the front of the card and thats the card finished.

Thanks so much for hopping onto my blog and having a look I really appreciate it, happy crafting and stay safe.
