Hope & Peace Christmas Card

I made this simple Christmas Card by cutting out the embossed layer and adhering it to a Night Of Navy Card Base. I love the contrast of the white and navy.

I used the Charming Landscapes 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the layer. There are two great folders in the pack; a mountain scene and a town scene.

Tips & Instructions

• Night Of Navy Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Basic White Cardstock - 5 1/2 x 4 , emboss using the town scene and then fussy cut. I cut off the candy canes. Adhere to card base.

• Stamp the Hope & Peace sentiment on a 1/2 strip of Basic White with Night Of Navy Ink. I colored just the words Hope & Peace on the stamp using a Night Of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker. You can also use Post-It Note or Tape to cover the other words and use an ink pad instead.

• Punch both ends of the sentiment strip using the Banners Pick A Punch and adhere with Dimensionals.

• Punch some stars from the light end of the Tahitian Tide Glimmer Paper using the Starlit Punch and adhere to card. I used a cut up piece of Dimensional for the large star. Adhere the small stars with Liquid Glue. I used the putty end of the Take Your Pick Tool to help pick them up.

On the inside layer stamp sentiment with Night Of Navy Ink. Punch the largest star from Glimmer Paper using the Starlit Punch and adhere to top corner.
