Perfectly Paper by Janice: FA LA LA Christmas

Hello Friends!!

I am so glad that you stopped by. I have a lovely Christmas card to share with you all today. We made this card in class yesterday and it was a hit with the ladies.

This card is a simple gate fold. Super quick and easy to create. All you need is some card stock and DSP of your choice and VIOLA!

Start with your basic 8.5" x 5.5" piece of Poppy Parade card stock. Then score at 2 3/4" and 1.5". Tip here is to rotate the card stock once you have one of the score lines done.

Supplies:

Basic White card stock 5 1/4" x 4" (inside of card) and 2" x 3 1/4".

Lemon Lime Twist card stock 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"

Merry Bold and Bright DSP 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" and 1 1/4" x 5 1/4"

Scrap of Basic White for the bulb and Sentiment

Scrap of Silver Foil for the bulb parts and wire

Instructions:

1) Burnish score lines with bone folder

2) Adhere the DSP and basic white card stock to the card base as shown above

3) Stamp and die cut the bulb from your basic white scrap.

4) Die cut the bulb topper, wire, and filament from the silver foil scrap and adhere the topper and filament on to the bulb. Run the wire through the bulb topper, once you have adhered the bulb to the card base.

5) On your Basic White card stock scrap, stamp the sentiment in Lemon Lime Twist ink and fussy cut it out.

6) Stamp the shine (three lines), in Poppy Parade ink, on your 2 x 3 1/4 piece of basic white card stock making sure to leave enough room for the bulb. Adhere bulb and sentiment using stampin' dimensionals. I used a small amount of Tombow on the edges of the wire to make sure it stayed in place.

7) Place the Lemon Lime Twist piece on the front of your card, making note of where your adhesive needs to end. DO NOT put adhesive on the entire piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Otherwise your card will not open.

8) Stamp sentiment or design on inside of card. Remember we never have the inside of our cards be nekkid.

9) Send your card to someone you know/love!

Enjoy
