How I made the card
- I made the cardbase out of the Basic White cardstock
- I placed the 3-¾” x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock in the Pressed Flowers Embossing folder in the Cut and Emboss machine and embossed the white piece of cardstock.
- Then adhere the embossed layer on the 4” x 5-¼” red layer.
- Adhere on the front of the front of the cardbase.
- Adhere 2 of the gold strips vertically on the left side of the card.
- Adhere the other 2 gold strips horizontally towards the top of the card.
- Weave the gold strips where they intersect.
- I used a foliage die from a retired die set to cut some gold leaf like ephemera.
- I used the bough punch to punch out some small red bud like images. I did use red glitter cardstock.
- Then I fussy cut out the poinsettias and adhered them on the foliage.
- I used the Traditional Label stamp set to stamp “Season’s Greetings” with my versamark ink.
- I then sprinkled red embossing powder on the stamped image and heat embossed.
- I used the Traditional Label dies to house the sentiment. I used dimensional to adhere the sentiment.
