Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Attach the large panel of Basic Beige & gold patter to the large Cherry Cobbler panel.
Fold and burnish Shaded Spruce strip with mountain then valley folds.
Open the Shaded Spruce strip so that the mountain fold is at the top. Layer one of the White panels to top panel. Add the smaller Cherry Cobbler panel on top of the White.
Take the other panel of Basic Beige Season of Elegance dsp and on the short side cut it in half at 1 3/8”. Flip one of the strip to the back that does not have the gold on it and adhere it to the top of the Cheery Cobbler panel you added in Step 3 leaving equal spacing on the sides and top – about 1/8”.
Take the other strip you cut from Step 4 and cut it into a 2 3/8” strip. Using the Basic Beige and gold side, add this strip to the Cheery Cobbler panel butting it up against the strip you added in Step 4 and making it even on the left side with the strip at the top. This will leave about 1/8” on the bottom and left side.
Use the small Cherry Cobbler and Gold piece of dsp and add it in the space to the right of the strip added in Step 5 making sure to butt it up against the Basic Beige and gold strip and that it is even with the strip at the top you added in Step 4. This will give you about 1/8” at the bottom and on the right side.
Stamp the tree from Yuletide Village using Shaded Spruce in the left hand corner of the other White panel. Use a Cherry Cobbler marker to add red dots to the tree to represent ornaments. Add the White panel to the center panel of the Shaded Spruce strip.
To form the pocket for the gift card, take the red and gold dsp strip and add glue on each of the short sides and bottom. Note – do not add glue to the top or you will glue your pocket shut. Add the strip to the bottom panel of the Shaded Spruce strip centering on the sides and bottom.
Close the Shaded Spruce strip and add glue to the back. Add it to the Cherry Cobbler large panel centering it on all sides.
To make the tree, use the 2” x 3” Shaded Spruce and measure the middle of one of the 2” sides and make a mark. This will be 1”. Use your scissors or trimmer to cut from the lower right hand corner to the 1” mark at the top. Repeat on the other side. Add the tree to the left side of the front panel using dimensionals.
With the Cherry Cobbler blend, color some of the small rhinestones. Sprinkle them on your tree.
Tie a small bow with the Gold 1/8” trim. Add it to the top of the tree using a glue dot.
