Sneak Peek with Traditional Labels

Today I’m excited to share a Christmas card that combines retired favorites with upcoming new product for a fresh yet familiar design. This is a great way to stretch your crafting supplies while still creating something beautiful for the holidays.

Supplies Needed

• Cardstock & Paper

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – 8 ½" x 5 ½", scored at 4 ¼"

  • Mossy Meadow Cardstock – (2 pieces) 4 ⅛" x 5 ⅜"

  • Basic White Cardstock (inside layer) – 4" x 5 ¼"

  • Season of Green and Gold Designer Series Paper (retired)

    • Pattern 1: 2 ½" x 5 ¼"

    • Pattern 2: 1 ½" x 5 ¼"

    • From Pattern 1: ½" x 3 ⅞"

    • From Pattern 2: ¼" x 3 ⅞"

• Ribbon

  • Gold & Mossy Meadow Ribbon – about 6 ½"

Prep Work

1. Score your thick basic white cardstock at 4 ¼" to create your card base.

2. Take one of the mossy meadow layers and die-cut your label shape from the center before adhering it—this saves cardstock since the middle won’t show.

3. Cut and set aside the different patterned pieces from the Season of Green and Gold DSP.

4. Prepare your ribbon at about 6 ½" in length.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Now that all of your pieces are prepped, let’s put the card together!

Step 1. Attach the two Designer Series Paper strips (2 ½" x 5 ¼" and 1 ½" x 5 ¼") together to form your card front panel. Adhere them onto the Mossy Meadow layer that has the die cut removed from the center.

Step 2. Adhere that completed Mossy Meadow/DSP layer to the card base.

Step 3. Stamp your greeting with VersaMark ink, sprinkle with gold embossing powder, and heat emboss until smooth and shiny.

Step 4. Add a few embellishments to the card front for a touch of sparkle and bling.

Step 5. On the inside layer (4" x 5 ¼" basic white), stamp your greeting with Mossy Meadow ink.

Step 6. Attach the narrow DSP strips (½" x 3 ⅞" and ¼" x 3 ⅞") along the bottom edge of the inside layer.

Step 7. Adhere the inside stamped/DSP layer to the second Mossy Meadow panel, then adhere that whole piece to the inside of your card.

And just like that, you’ve created a beautiful Christmas card mixing old favorites with new supplies!
