Hello Happy Crafters!
Today is Card #4 (the last one) in my Christmas Means More Series.
I love the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life." It's one of many of my Christmas favorites, so I am tickled about how this one turned out! It's a fun fold, but not hard to do.
I simply started with a piece of 4¼"x 11" Cherry Cobbler. I scored it at 5½" then I cut it at 2¾". That 2¾"x 4" piece is what I used for the focal image. I just turned it sideways. I embossed the flap with one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders. I added a 2⅝"x 3⅞" piece of Shaded Spruce to the 2¾"x 4" piece of Cherry Cobbler . I stamped the sentiment on a piece of 2½"x 3¾" Whisper White and colored the bells with my Smoky Slate Blends. I tied a knot in the Silver Metallic Edged ribbon before using Tombow glue to add the entire panel to the card flap. Since the flap was embellished, I needed a strong adhesive to be sure it stayed in place.
I threaded a piece of linen thread through the jingle bells and tied them onto the knot then added Wink of Stella to the stamped bells.
The Tis the Season designer series paper is what really pulls this card together, imho. It's awesome! The layers inside the card are the exact same measurements as the Shaded Spruce and Whisper White pieces above. I stamped the bell and the holly in Memento Black ink in the bottom corner and colored them with my blends.
Of course the envelope flap needed some decorating too! That's the last card in my Christmas Means More series, but please don't forget about the big sale that's going on TODAY ONLY.
