Scroll down past the photos for instructions on how to make this card.

Instructions:

Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 10” x 7”, score at 5” along the long side and fold to create a base card of 5” x 7”.  Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and score every 1/8” on a scoreboard and then adhere to the front of the card.  Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 4” x 5” and emboss using the Holly Flourish embossing folder that has been inked with Tumbled Glass ink.  Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 5” x 7” and trim each end using the decorative edge frame from the HCD2-7427 Filigree Accents Die to fit the embossed panel.  Add the embossed panel to the front and add Frosting Powder to the decorative edges using Dries Clear glue on a sponge.  Adhere the panel to the front of the card with foam tape.

Die cut three decorative panels from the HCD3-7446 Slim Gateway Rectangle Die out of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Trim and stack three dies together to create two decorative ‘gates’.  Add Frosting Powder to the ‘gates’ with Dries Clear glue on a sponge and adhere to the middle of the embossed panel.

Stamp the bird and flower images from the HCPC-31027 Festive Berry & Birdies Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock.  Colour with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.  Die cut another set of plain dies out of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and adhere the painted images to the plain images.  Adhere the images to the ‘gate’ as shown.

Stamp the sentiments from the HCPC-31026 Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-31027 Festive Berry & Birdies Cling Stamp Set in Obsidian Pigment ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Die cut a plain die from Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and adhere the stamped images to the top of the plain dies.  Adhere the ‘Merry’ to the top of the card and the ‘Christmas to the bottom of the card.  Trim the ‘Wishing You A’ from the rest of the sentiment and adhere to the bottom right of the ‘gate as shown.

Add Heart of Gold Prills to the centres of the poinsettias and Minnie Pearl Prills to the top right image as shown. Add Red Berry Nuvo Drops to the berries.
