Terry Lynn Bright, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Folks – it’s Sunday! Do you hav e your ‘Sunday go to meetin’ clothes laid out? As for me, I do know what I will be wearing :). I enjoy Sundays ~ it’s an opportunity for me to regroup, think about my week and how to be a better person. So, having said all that, are you ready to see my card today? Let me say first – this was so fun to do, I love this Words of Cheer bundle, but true confessions… I used some retired Sale-a-bration paper but you could use any DSP 😳 Here’s the card…

Isn’t this bright? Let me tell you about the shiny white paper – I cheated! I used the Christmas Cheer Dies and some leftover ‘paper’ from the Wonderful Snowflakes to die cut the holly leaves & stars. I wanted the shine, kind of like foil, to make this stand out. More info…

Basics: Words of Cheer Bundle (includes Christmas Cheer Dies)

• Die cut the cheer outline from Red Foil sheets
• Die the letters from Crumb Cake. Adhere letters to the Red Foil die cut
• Die cut the holly leavers and stars from Wonderful Snowflakes scraps. Adhere holly leaves to the back of the Red Foil die cut
• Adhere this to a panel of Vellum 1 3/8 x 5 1/4. TIP: I recommend using glue dots to secure holly leaves to the Vellum.

Card cuts:

• Card base – Garden Green 5 1/2 x 11 scored at 1 3/4, 4 1/4, & 6 3/4
• Basic White panels -1 5/8 x 5 3/8 (2); 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 (2); 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
• Coordinating DSP – 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 (2); 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 (2); 1 3/4 x 5 1/4
• Burnish score lines firmly. see photo below for guide

Attach papers as shown below. Remember the Cheer for the front of the card!

You can clearly see how I decorated the various panels: the holly leaves were die cut from the leftover Wonderful Snowflakes pieces; the tree is the Pine Tree punch and the ornaments are die cut from Real Red c s & Shimmer Paper with Wink of Stella added for glam (the die came from Christmas Trees Dies); the stars are also from the Cheer Dies and Wonderful Snowflakes paper scraps. There is no sentiment, but plenty of room for writing a precious message.

This is a thick card when closed and held securely by a belly band. To create the belly band: cut a length of Garden Green 1 x 11; cut a length of Basic White 7/8 x 11 and adhere together. Cut a label with the Tasteful Labels Dies from Garden Green & Basic White as shown. Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink using the Words of Cheer stamp set. Die cut holly leaves from garden Green & pine branches from Pear Pizzazz. Adhere as shown. Attach to the belly band with Tear n Tape.

You can also see in this photo that I covered the front of the card with a panel of card stock – to protect the delicate leaves on the ‘Cheer’ front :O)
