Christmas Wishes - To The Best Husband - Featuring the NEW Christmas Holly Collection

Good Morning Everyone

Once again I would like to thank you all for your lovely comments on the cards I post, I really appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.

Today's card is another 8 x 8 which is my favourite size, although this can be adapted for smaller cards,and looks equally as nice.

It is also straightforward and an easy one to make.

Products Used:- (which are also links to Phill's Website too) :-)


8 x 8 Cream Card Blank
Christmas Holly Relatives A5 Stamps
Christmas Holly More Relatives A5 Stamps
Christmas Holly Sentiment Borders A5 Stamps
Christmas Holly Decorative Frame Single Stamp Lattice
A4 Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder
Dazzlers
Creative Expressions PVA Black Pearl
Black Soot Distress Ink Pad
Gold Embossing Powder























Matting & Layering

1st Layer Black Card cut to 19.5cm sq.

2nd layer Cream Card cut to 19cm. sq.

3rd Layer Black Card cut to 14.5cm sq.

4th Layer Cream Card cut to 14cm. sq.

5th Layer Black Card cut to 12cm. sq

For the Sentiment I cut :-                                  
Cream Card 6.5 cm. sq
Black Card 6 cm. sq
Cream Card 5.75 cm


The 19.5 sq. black card I left plain and attached this to the Base Card.

Next with the 19 cm.sq Cream Card and the Sentiment Border Stamps I stamped around the edge of the card using two different Sentiments and Black Soot Distress Ink.

Next lining up the 14.5 cm sq Black Card I attached this to the card using pads.
The next layer 14 cm sq Cream Card I Embossed and attached this flat to the card.



Next using the 12 cm, sq  Black Card and the Christmas Holly Decorative Frame Lattice Stamp I heat embossed this with Gold Embossing Powder, and attached to the card using pads.


Sentiment
Using the smallest layer of Cream Card I stamped the Sentiment and then attached all three layers flat to the card.

Finally I added  Pearl PVA to each corner of the Sentiment and Dazzlers to the corners of the main card.


                                                             Happy Crafting
